Does not seem to work anymore, I'm getting SSL error.

It’s possible that the site now uses SSL certificates that are no longer compatible with this old version of Windows.

Can you access the site via Internet Explorer/Edge (not Firefox or Chrome)?

I can access the site via Edge, but not Internet Explorer. It seems Bandcamp uses TLS 1.3, which is not supported on Internet Explorer in Windows 7.

Yes, I just ran an [SSL server test](https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=bandcamp.com&s=151.101.1.91&latest) and it looks like Windows 7 is not supported anymore.
