    This is the os I copied from M6300 to M6700.

    This shows the cpu has 2 different speeds, is this normal?

    Thanks for the help.

    The first is just text that identifies the CPU. 2.9 GHz is its normal top speed. The second is the CPU's current speed as measured by Windows.

    The CPU speed will adjust dynamically depending on load. You can use a tool like CPU-Z to watch it change. (Modern Windows shows this directly in Task Manager on the performance tab.)

    There is another problem, When I tried to install the Intel HD driver, this message shows up.
    What does the "minimum requirements " means?

    It means you don't have an Intel card. From your specs, it seems you have the IPS screen M6700 which only uses the dedicated Nvidia card since Intel cannot provide the 10-bit color output.

    NVIDIA Optimus doesn't work with Windows XP anyway...
    If you had it enabled you would not be able to use the NVIDIA GPU.

    Not sure, but I believe at the very least you're going to need a new display cable as well.
