I’m at the very beginning of the course. I can’t find an option to download the older, 2.77 edition of Blender. Will that make it harder to follow along? Thanks!
Not sure why you want this.
Currently these course lessons are based on Blender 2.79 or Blender 2.8
The problem is that in Blender 2.8 the whole User Interface has been redesigned. And it is in beta.
The “Complete Blender” course was initially done in 2.79. But that is currently under revision for 2.8
You can still follow the 2.79 version.
But it’s better to switch over to 2.8, because the whole world is switching over to the new standard.
You can install 2.79 and 2.8 separately. I did that, just to re-use old projects. But also to learn the new Blender.
