I have a (25FT) heavy duty extension cord rated at a maximum of 600V and 14 AWG. Given to me from a friend while moving I think he used it for a generator. Can I still use it for small stuff like a computer or drill or lamp or fan? Just thinking about a voltage loss because of thicker wire or would this not make enough of a noticeable loss if any ? Trying to see if I would ever even use it.

The voltage is gonna be about the same regardless of what you do with it: whatever your electricity provider pumps into your home. The voltage printed on the wire likely refers to non “extension cable” uses, which are obviously irrelevant to your use case because it’s an extension cable
