Optiplex 7010 End of life is last Dell Optiplex to support XP
Intel HD graphics 4000 has XP driver
intel HD graphics 4600 no XP driver
You can still use discrete video card that has XP driver in 9020
I confirm Windows XP 64 can be installed in 7010 EOL successfully
choose ATA option in bios sata operation which is equivalent to IDE
selecting Dell video audio chipset Intel ME driver note that Dell supplied dedicated XP 64 driver which end with ZPE in driver name
typically two drivers on Dell site the first is for XP32 and the second ZPE is for 64
able to play FEAR using all onboard video and audio without glitch

Audio driver use 9010 audio device model Realtek ALC3220 to look for XP driver
or install discrete sound card
Intel chipset driver out of luck
in my experience without chipset driver there will be a number of unknown devices in dev mgr but pc still boots into Windows
don’t need Ethernet driver for xp
so if in principle xp can support all 4 core intel up to 7700 is it possible to overkill run xp in Optiplex 7040 (6th), 7050 (7th)?
it is implicitly doubted xp would support 6 core cpu. also 4GB ram is max it can use
