Using a Windows 7 Laptop - MatthewWhebell - Jun-14-2018

This is sad. I first noticed a problem when I tried installing Battle.net, then I noticed that I couldn't use the latest from Eclipse.
And then I noticed that I couldn't install Anaconda.
And then I noticed that I couldn't even install Python (2.7 nor 3.6)

Is there anybody here who knows how I can practice Python coding even with this tinker-toy (I can't afford a new computer right now)?

Your title says Windows7, the text says Vista...
Anyway, it schould not be a problem to install and run Python... At least not a problem with insufficient hardware resources (after all Python runs on Raspberry Pi under Linux). Check this excellent tutorial how to install python under Windows.

Follow it to the letter and if the problem persist post detail information on the exact errors you get.
