Stick with 7, it isnt going any where for a few years.

You only need Pro if your connecting to a domain, home premium will be fine for you.

Pretend 8 doesn't exists. 9 will be out in 2 years or so anyways lol

Hi Shane thank you

1. Because i am only on Dial Up, new laptop computers don't support dial up. but i do have another    computer that i will be using for online.
Can i download Drivers, Windows 7 updates etc onto a flash drive and load it on the new computer and load offline?

Thanks again

Yes you can, but on dial up you are looking at a long download time as some drivers can be in the hundreds of MB.

Thanks Shane

I have done Windows Updates on Dial up but not any driver updates.

Is it easy to do, specially the Windows updates?

Is there a link to how to do this, or briefly can you tell me?

Thanks again

I meant what model and make of laptop :wink:

Some may offer Windows 7 drivers, other may only offer 8. Would be a good idea to check the model before you get it.
