it depends on hardware requirements of later operating systems , also whether computer/laptop manufacturer supports , supplies drivers later operating systems whether possible or feasible upgrade or not.

microsoft no longer sells 7; try amazon.com.

go computer / laptop manufacturer's website , see if windows 7 drivers available make , model computer / laptop.

if not available, windows 7 not work correctly you.
