Purchase Windows 8.1 and then move to a newer version
It’s unlikely you can legally purchase Windows 8.1 and immediately upgrade to Windows 10. Such methods aren’t supported by Microsoft or standard practices, so they wouldn’t reduce costs in a practical way.
You can purchase 8.1 and then upgrade, it's definitely feasible.
It really depends on where you are. Sometimes windows 8.1 will be like half the cost, and other times there will barely be a price delta. Either way just get the cheapest OS including windows 7, and then just upgrade to windows 10, because it isn't much hassle.
