1. There is no "Windows 10 Ultimate x64"
2. Just because you have a install DVD does not mean you have a valid license to go with it.
3. Performancewise, there is pretty much zero difference between 7 and 10.
4. Whatever OS you put on that system will be slow, because the system itself is slow.

i'd put a vote in for win 10 over win 7. i have an old netbook that is pitifully weak. it came with win 7 starter edition which was as stripped down as it could get. and it ran horribly. i upgraded to 10 and it runs smoother. it's still slow as molasses but it is noticeably faster than it was with win 7 on it.

the netbook has an old weak atom processor and 2 gb ram. you do want to look and make sure there are drivers for win 10 if you go that rout. a lot of older stuff did not get updated drivers. i have to settle for generic vga driver for the atom processor due to no win 10 support. i lose some functionality and control over the display due to this.

2gb of ram is very restrictive.
You will want to continue to use a 32 bit version of windows.

If you have a valid license for windows 10, you might try installing a 32 bit version hoping to have a smaller windows.

Really, you will do better to buy a 2 x 2gb ram kit.
Windows license is 32/64 bit agnostic.
It is likely to take
