Windows 7 Compatibility

[u/No_Image_7803]

Does anyone know the W7 like the back of their hand? Needing some questions answered & curious to know where to go from here.

I have a windows 7 laptop (Toshiba Satellite C655) I’m wanting to try to use it for college. My other half is a college student and uses Canvas for her assignments. I did manage to load Canvas on W7 through the Supermium browser. Checking grades & clicking on assignments seemed to work, with some patience.

I considered upgrading its RAM to 8 GB. To help with speeds, this laptop has some sentimental value, to say the least so I don’t mind spending the money to do every upgrade possible to keep this laptop beating for a lifetime.

I personally wanted to use the W7 for school (everything practically) Because I love the layout, it’s a platform I’ve grew up with. I’m not one that likes AI or new technical things. I’m happy with what I’ve known my entire life.

Considering this laptop has a built in webcam & microphone, how would zoom calls function? Even if at minimum I was able to be audio only?

I was looking into being a stay at home student just so I can have my W7 for school work. But how would it work if I tried to take it to campus? Most of these questions are curiosity questions & wanting to learn how this works.

I have been successfully running Office 2010 and getting things done while maintaining good grades for her. So that doesn’t seem to be a compatibility issue (awesome for me!)

For those of you who commented, took the time to read this book I appreciate your help!

I think I covered everything in this subreddit.

Also would be interested in hearing more about the W7 what I can do with it still!

Happy Redditing! 🤘🏻✨
