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.

There is no minimum. If there was, we would need to leave them plugged in all the time. When a cord is just sitting unplugged, it has 0V. You can’t get less than 0. (A negative voltage is the same as a positive one, it’s just going the other direction)
