New a-level a maths and further maths calculator

Hello, my dad got me a new graphing calculator when he was in India and it's called the Casio 9860giii
Will this calculator suffice for 2026 and 2027 exams? I really didn't want to waste money but this was the only calculator that was available in India and now I'm stuck with the calculator and I don't want to ask him for a new one cuz I've already wasted his money. I mean that's how I feel like I feel like I could have just gotten a second hand CG fx50 or a CG FX100 but now I'm stuck with this one. It's super old.

By the way, it looks grey and has got a silvery button in the right of the calculator and it isn't colour screened or anything. It's just a plain graphing calculator, not an actual graphic calculator if you get what I mean. But apparently it's decent for furthermaths which I don't know much about. But I only know the model CG50 and CG 100 are good
