Remember to read the instructions carefully. Once you install Windows 7 Pro, you can upgrade to Windows 8 Pro by using the control panel. This process is new to me, so I can't walk you through it step by step, but you're welcome to try it yourself.

The Core version is problematic because it lacks the features and improvements found in later updates like 8.1 Pro. It’s considered outdated and less reliable compared to newer releases.

I misunderstood the earlier versions of Windows 7, especially the basic ones—those first versions didn’t let you modify your wallpaper.

You're right, it's only offered in 32-bit with a 2GB RAM limit. I appreciate the simplification of licensing in Windows 8.1.

Absolutely, the main use case for Pro comes into play when you're operating within a specific domain or managing virtual machines on Hyper-V.

If you want to apply BitLocker or start from a virtual hard disk.

I have Windows 7 Pro and with Windows 10 coming up soon, I don’t want to invest in something that won’t be useful in a short time.

It seems you're referring to Windows 7's storage needs. A public hotspot can help with downloading updates or files.

I possess the required files to set up Windows 7 Pro on a USB drive roughly two feet away. The main challenge is handling the over 75GB of programs—especially if I leave the installers on USBs larger than 100GB. For downloading, you’ll need something lightweight and portable, as your PC isn’t big enough and your phone lacks sufficient space.
