You can't know till you try. Even if it doesn't work, or does, changing a video card setting can swap the situation.
Dual boot Linux Mint 19.3 or 20.0 with Mate Desktop, add extra themes and icons via built in Software manager, select TraditionalOK Theme, Win ME window decoration and Oxygen Icons. Calibre for Linux then runs fine as do Browsers safe for the Internet.
Or if the Win7 uses regular Boot, rather than EFI (even if PC has EFI), there is a free MS tool to copy the existing disk to an external USB Disk for OpenBox VM. Then use a NEW or SPARE HDD in the laptop/PC (so you can revert). The Win7 then can be loaded as a VM via Openbox on a fresh Linux install. My old DELL XP laptop lives on this way on my Lenovo laptop with Linux only.
