Good luck in finding a copy of Windows, if all else fails, move on to Linux... I'd recommend Ubuntu 13.10 or Elementary OS (which was an off shoot, I think, of Ubuntu 12.04)

Thank you for the recommendations. I've been thinking of jumping ship for Linux if all else fails but all the variations makes it kind of daunting and it's really helpful to have a place to start.

Well is suggest that you go with Ubuntu 14.04 since it's the most current distribution right now. I started with Ubuntu 8.04 i think it was back in 2008, and dabbled until i got windows 7 in 2009, after that i such with windows for the next four years, until about three months ago with my month long stint in Ubuntu 13.10/14.04

So newest Ubuntu is the thing I should go with?

I'd go with 14.04 which should be the newest version. It's going to change to 14.10 in August. .04 means April, and then (as I said) .10 means August.
