As far as I am aware there is no such thing as "Windows 7 Home Ultimate". "Home" is an entry level system, though I think that's only available to large OEMs because I've never seen anything less than "Home Premium". "Ultimate" is the top of the range for consumers (the only one "above" that is "Enterprise" and you probably can't get that unless you are a multi- user business). "Ultimate" is the only one out of the Windows 7 consumer offerings which has multilingual capability. <http://www.windows7.cc/windows-7-features/windows-7-product-editions-comparison-chart/> Note that "Home Premium" is crippled in various ways - you can't use Remote Desktop into it for example, which means a third party product is needed if you want to support family or friends running it remotely. > Some say 32bits, some 64bits... > > Which version should I buy - 32bits or 64bits? Go for the 64-bit version. The only reason to go for the 32 bit version is if you want support for older devices which only have 32 bit drivers available. Here's a tip: Look for the OEM version of Ultimate because it will be a lot cheaper. <http://www.zdnet.com/blog/bott/is-it-ok-to-use-oem-windows-on-your-own-pc-dont-ask-microsoft/1561> FWIW my OEM version of Windows 7 Ultimate was something like USD 200 and at the time the full retail price in Switzerland was about USD 500; Microsoft were price gouging in my country, so it was a no brainer to go the OEM route. -- Paul Sture The final step of #heartbleed recovery is to call your mother, and advise her to change her maiden name -- @gojomo
