If the software works with Windows 8 - then it probably works just fine with Windows 7 and Windows 10. I wouldn't worry and just upgrade to Win10 for free and call it good.
I still need something to run Windows, so…maybe a cheap WinBook tablet running Win 8.1 is the way to go. If only I could find the older WinBook TW801 in stock. Perhaps a bit better performance from the older Atom, but more importantly USB 3 if I actually need to use the tablet for anything useful.
The reason I originally targeted Windows 8.1 was availability of cheaper deals and the ability to boot from USB a bit easier if necessary. If I get a dedicated device, the latter doesn't matter so much (as Windows is already installed internally).
How often will you need to run this software? Wouldn't it be easier just to borrow someone's laptop for a couple hours?
