Windows 7 on MacBook1,1 planning for Windows 10

I was able to locate Boot Camp 2.1 drivers online here 

I've installed the linked drivers and so far everything seems to be working. 
MacBook1,1 on Windows 7 SP1

Since this machine has a tiny 60Gb HDD, I'm working with a 35Gb Boot Camp partition.

I've successfully installed Service Pack 1. So there's that, I did get this warning prior to updating to SP 1.
Windows 10 nag screen LOL!

So what's next?

Option 1: do an in-place update of Windows 10 to find out if a) the drivers for Windows 7 will work b) if Windows 10 will run smoother on it vs my Wind U123H. If this pans out I might remove the tiny stock 60Gb HDD replace it with my spare 500Gb HDD and do a fresh install of Windows 10.

Option 2: skip the in-place update, go directly to swapping out the drive and do a fresh install of OS X Leopard 10.5.x and do a clean install of Windows 10 and just hope the Windows 7 drivers work.

Option 3: I could stay with Windows 7 SP1 however mainstream support has already ended so I am back with the same issue if I stayed with Leopard. Which isn't really ideal.

I am leaning more towards option 2. Which reminds me I need to get a set of screwdrivers with torx 8 to perform the drive replacement.
