with or without Prime, if you don't mind a "certified refurbished" system. This one for example has a 3 Ghz dual-core Intel processor (ideal for MS Office and other Windows apps), 4 GB memory, a 250 GB hard drive, 8 USB ports, and Windows 7 Pro (x64). That's not a bad set up!

About Windows 10: it's very nice, possibly a little faster than 7, but it has a big tiled start "screen" instead of a button, and it doesn't come with a DVD player, and the latest media player is full of ads, and the "apps" have super-basic controls and minimal help screens, meaning they're mostly decorative. so you'd need to download a start button, music/DVD player, PDF reader, gadget pack if you wanted to use them, etc. Not a deal breaker, but Win 7 Pro is better as far as functionality and help system.

Also: July 29th is past, so you don't have to worry about MS trying to sneak a 5 Gb operating system onto your harddrive and changing up your system on the sly. And if you DO want to try 10, you can just download the ISO file from MS, burn an installation DVD on your Win 7 burner, and install Win 10 in a 50 Gb partition on your hard drive. Voila, you will have a dual-boot system, with a graphical boot screen that Win 10 adds. And after the first big update, Win 10 let's you personalize everything, whether or not you activate, so you can nuke that fugly blue log-on screen!
