    I presume you are aware that the latest version of Windows is 8.1, not 7?

    If you want one with 7 you will be pretty much limited to buying online, I would think? Unless you have a computer shop who would build one for you.

    I have had to explain to 6 people this week. No you dont need to upgrade XP will keep on working for the next 100 years if you wish.

    There wont be any new updates so at least they wont be able to break it for you.
