Need to update Windows Vista Pro to Windows 7 or 8, and MS Office 2007 version the most recent which products do need me?

Hello

Hope someone here might be able to help. Running Windows Vista Ultimate Pro OS but realize I have to make the trip up to 7 or 8.1. Can someone tell me how to do this (i.e. should I get Windows 7, then update to 8.1, or can simply go directly from Vista to 8.1)?  I'm hoping to minimize the costs that we are on a bit of a fixed income here. Can I use upgrades or what I must have full OS to move?

On the front of MS Office, currently sports Office 2007, but desperately need to move until the most recent is and again, this can be done cheaply? I mean can I pay at a discounted price on eBay or Amazon or I have to go directly to the shop of MS to ensure an authentic copy (but * frown * full price)?

It's been rough, the last 4 years, but I think that things are finally looking a bit and wanted to get new systems / software in place while I still had the chance. Don't want to be caught in the position where Microsoft continues the upgrade / support versions that I run, it's a kind of scary place, unless it is on an old / computer test, but not my direct computer to use computers all day.

Any assistance with this will be appreciated. Thank you all and have a great day!

Hello

Nothing can 'do with it' If you want legal software.

What, whether it's "buyer beware".

It's your choice where you buy your software since.

With Windows 7 Microsoft no longer sells, so you use Amazon, etc.

There is no way to upgrade Vista to 8.1

Before purchasing Windows 7, follow these steps:

Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

Do the following before upgrade you to Windows 8.1.

Check if the manufacturer of your computer/laptop has Windows 8 drivers available for your model.
