You should be able to run Skyrim and its expansions on your laptop. The system specs you provided are solid for an older title, especially with the AMD Radeon HD 7660G GPU and the available RAM. While it might feel a bit slower compared to modern standards, it should handle the games smoothly, especially if you adjust the graphics settings. Just keep in mind that performance will depend on how you configure the display and the specific game settings.
It should work well with medium settings at that resolution. Running mods isn't recommended.
You should handle a minimum of 30 frames per second in 1080p resolution with medium performance.
I don’t worry about installing mods. The titles I enjoy modifying are Grand Theft Auto, The Sims 3 and Minecraft—just a few of the around twelve I’ve got. Appreciate the brief peace of mind! I’m thinking about setting up a more powerful system for gaming and video editing in the near future.
Based on what I just learned, you'll experience similar results. From my 630m, I'm seeing around 30 FPS on high settings, while your display resolution is 1366x768.
I understand you mentioned you weren't really aiming to modify Skyrim, but adding some utility mods can boost performance. I've used a few in the past on an older system and they helped improve speed.

The current performance meets expectations well. On my 1080p display, medium-high quality delivers smooth ~35 frames per second, and even with the laptop’s built-in screen, high-ultra remains stable at that rate.
It sounds like you're really enjoying Skyrim! With about 220 hours logged, it's a solid investment of around $15.
