Home Premium 64 bit.

32bit is just choking yourself if you can run 64.

Furthermore, the "higher end" editions of Windows 7 are only necessary if you're some multilingual business magnate as the only actual difference is how many languages you can make everything standard be in.

Like the buttons say "da" and "niet" instead of "OK" and "cancel" or stuff of that ilk.

Most licences should be usable with either 32 ot 64-bit versions.

Home Premium is enough for most, but Professional and higher do have feature that will interest some. For example, Home Premium has no Group Policy editor, and cannot utilize more than 16GiB of memory.
