You might like to know that I tried to upgrade a DELL Inspiron 6000 (made in 2005!) using a laptop IDE to SATA adapter with a SATA SanDisk 60GB SSD drive. To get it to fit I took the drive out of its case ( circuit board was half size) so it would fit in the drive bay.
Well it worked with Windows 10 32bit but very, very slow. So a success yet a failure.
For TRIM on XP just run one of the software packages on a regular basis.
I also have a Compaq Presario HP-SR1820NX_Athlon 64 3400_1 Core_2.21GHz desktop with XP Pro which I use for an old, very high resolution, flatbed scanner with no W7 or W10 drivers.
It has a SATA 1.5 controller with connected SSD.
To make a long story short - XP Pro is very finicky after years of W7 and W10!!!!
Recently did MS's POSReady security updates for XP and it reduced system Windows Explorer to a crawl - screen, refreshes, openning drive folder, etc. retore back to previous and O.K. now.
But hey, the scanner is amazing for old photos, etc.!

'''''Good news:''''' I recently got the Dell Inspiron 6000 upgraded to a SSD drive with very good results by using the following components:
1.) Kingston 120G SSDNOW UV500 MSATA
2.) CY mSATA Mini PCI-E SATA SSD to 2.5 Inch IDE 44pin Notebook Laptop Hard Disk Enclosure.
It now gives my 2014 Acer E 14 (ES1-411-C1WD), with an Intel '''Celeron N2940 1.8GHz''' 4 Cores 4 Threads, a run for its money! Windows 10 x32 now works well on it.
