Ok, so I may be being stupid, but here's my situation: I've built my rig (with ssd), but don't yet have a copy of windows.

Questions:

1. Which 64-bit version of Windows 7 should I get (Home premium etc.)? 

2. Is this version ok for creating a bootable USB drive?

3. If I buy a leggit copy of windows 7, can I upgrade to windows 10 imediately?

Cheers, ed

But that cost sooo much more

How much more?

Seriously, I would rather pay the extra $20 or something than deal with upgrading and hardware IDs....

I'd say it's worth it. Just buy Windows 10, install it, and have the latest version of Windows.
