It doesn't matter which one you choose (you'll probably get W10 in a few months either way). But the version counts because home and pro will offer different upgrade paths and features. Get the Pro version if possible. W10 seems to be the next best MS OS option.
If you watch a lot Netflix, Windows 8 would be a better option. It has Netflix's application which plays videos with Blue-Ray quality. Netflix in browser plays videos only with DVD quality. However, Windows 8 seems to be faster and it will still have updates for a while, since Windows 7 already lost sime of it's update-support. When Windows 10 comes out, you are able to upgrade your Windows 7 or Windows 8 to it for free. I dunno if it is a good option to wait till Windows 10 release and see what it will cost.
It's simple to obtain Windows 8 for just $35. I haven't noticed Windows 7 keys dropping below $75. It's interesting how some people are purchasing it.
You're running version 8.1 and haven't encountered any issues yet.
Well this is a hard one I have not tried 10 yet so don't know about that. I use both Windows 7 and 8.1 and work fine. Windows 8 has a nice interface easy to use once you get used to it and windows 7 is nice as well. Both come with there problems so no operating system is perfect. It up to you relay.
Not always. It might turn out to be bad when it launches, similar to XP Vista 7 and 8. Just like every release before it, it could be terrible initially.
