Hello- I had to make that switch a few months ago when my old computer passed into the great recycle bin in the landfill. If you go to the Microsoft website you can read about each of their versions and compare their features with your own needs. It isn't a bargain to buy a system that will not meet all of your needs. For example, I work in both English and in Spanish. When I bought my computer it came with MS Home and Student (something like that) but it did not have a language pack. I chose to upgrade to 7 Ultimate because it did have the multi-language capability and other features I wanted. I had to pay an additional $100 American for the boost. After you review the different features I am sure to best one for you will become apparent.

However, I have heard that there are several versions to choose from such as Home Premium, etc. I want a version that won't cost a figure which will cause me to apply to the bank for a loan to be paid off in three years. It should also work with JAWS 11 and later. I understand that there are many experts on what Windows 7 does and I hope you can give me advice on what I can buy. Will $200 be enough to purchase my copy of Windows 7? And from where, directly from Microsoft or Amazon. One more thing. How do I keep my programs that I use now so that they can work after the Windows 7 has been installed.
