Yo, fawkz, 'tis one's short, which is more optimal for this budget machine?

If you want the option to have the Windows Classic look (like 9x, 2000, or XP) go with Windows 7. If you don't care about that both Windows 7 and Windows 8 perform about the same and cost the same. Windows 8 does have a few advantages such as faster bootup's, hybrid sleep, improved security and more support life from Microsoft. Though Windows 10 will be a free upgrade to either so the last one really doesn't matter.

It does not make a big difference since Win10 will be on it's way very soon for free upgrade.
