I have never did one as you are doing, i just have an Ubuntu on another computer all by itself. Why not just start another Thread and let someone with experience on this topic offer some advice, this is getting beyond my knowledge and as far as which Windows 7, my thinking is upgrading to 7 is what you would want to do, but, again, i am not positive what you are looking at at Best Buy, see what someone else can advise for you. Do they have better prices than Microsoft ?
