I'm currently running Windows XP using Fusion 5 on OSX Mavericks. I'm about to upgrade the Mac to OSX Yosemite and it seems a good time to get rid of XP too but I would like some advice on how to go about it.
The main thing I can't figure out is how to obtain a more recent copy of Windows that I can install. I can only find links to buy a DVD but my Mac does not have a DVD drive - is there a downloadable version of any more recent version of Windows available to buy? I know very little about recent versions of Windows and don't mind what version I use (8.1 looks to be the latest?); I have only one piece of Windows software which I use regularly for business and this is fully backed up so I am happy to do a full reinstall of Windows if I can figure out how.
Apart from that any advice on the right order in which to upgrade the OSX (Mavericks to Yosemite), Fusion (5 to 7) and Windows (XP to ??) would be appreciated.
thanks
