IS IT POSSIBLE TO UPDATE MY 6.1.6 iOS TO A 7.0 iOS OR HIGHER FOR NEW APPS?

Can my I-Pod Touch operating system (6.1.6) be updated to a 7.0 operating system or higher so I may download certain apps?

iPod classic, Windows 7, My music files were somehow deleted

No. IOS 7 requires at least 512 MB of RAM. The 4G only has 256 MB


but this may help with apps

Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)

App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club

App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app

You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.
