AnswerNo: AppleWorks is not supported beyond Snow Leopard. See the article "AppleWorks for the modern day, a migration tip" for more details (sorry, can't give a link: Apple doesn't seem to allow links in these answers, even to their own support articles!)

Can a 1.83 Ghz Intel Core Duo be upgraded to meet requirements for OS X Lion 10.7?
The current medical billing company utilized by the company I contract with can only be utilized with the newest upgrade for Java (Java 7) making Java 6 obsolete. Java 7 can only be downloaded with and Intel Core 2 or other processors I have the above listed processor. If I can not access the medical billing software and/or Java 7 my current laptop would be useless for my employment. Please advise.

AnswerUnless its desktop counterpart (the Mac mini) from that generation, the processor in your MacBook cannot be upgraded. There are methods of installing Lion on unsupported Intel Core Duo Macs, however these installations are unofficial and aren't recommended (not to mention not supported) by Apple.

Which is better for a college business student?
I'm about to get into my major courses and the laptop I currently own is larger and heavy so it's not fun to tote around. I'm looking for a laptop that can handle school and internet and maybe a game or two but nothing crazy or major. I use tumblr as well so basic photo editing like adding text is a plus but I normally just use a website for those anyways. I just need something that is portable and has decent storage and a long battery so I don't have to take my charger everywhere as well. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

AnswerCompare your system to the listed minimum System requirements for each OS. If it meets/exceeds, you can use that OS.
In your case, with the 2 Duo at 2 GHz and 4 MB RAM, you can go to OS X El Capitan and have room to spare.- Answered by Elbert A from Lake Stevens

is Lion compatible with Quark 8

Best Answer:
No, as your graphics chip is sadly incompatible with Mountain Lion (despite only requiring a driver or two, but that's apple for you). I believe there is also an issue with the BIOS, or the computer firmware, not being compatible as well. My mid-2007 Black Macbook suffers from this premature death as well, but Lion is still great. I recommend maxing out your ram (6GB Maximum, 4GB supported by Apple) and installing an SSD to make your machine lightning quick. LONG LIVE THE WHITE MACBOOK! Hope I helped you out.

Will this work on a non-apple device? For example a blank ssd in a custom computer.
I have a custom built computer and want to run OS X on it but will this version of OS X work on a non-Mac device? The ssd has not had anything put on it yet and the computer hasn't been run yet. Is there a specific version if any that I can use?

Best Answer:If you are referring to when your iPhone rings your mac will allow you to receive the call (aka Continuity)? Then No as that feature was not introduced until OS X 10 9 Yosemite. If you are referring to making face-time calls yes that feature was already implemented.
