Which Windows OS is best for TIS2000 install? 64 bit possible?

BEFORE installing the TIS2000 Software... it will work just fine. Remember that THIS machine deserves to be a Dedicated Computer... with nothing else in the way of any after-market Software that might interfere with the installation, operation and behavior of the TIS2000 Software... Before...During and After the CD(s) are installed.
TIS2000 software: (GM, Opel)

TIS2000 software: (Saab)
http://www.chinacardiags.com/wholesale/tis2000-for-saab-cd-and-usb-key-for-gm-tech2-saab-car-model-2709.html

READ THE CONTENTS OF BOTH TIS2000 DISKS BEFORE YOU START THIS INSTALLATION... THEN PRINT AND READ ALL OF THE "README" FILES FIRST... AS YOU WILL NEED TO DO SOME MINOR CONFIG OR DLL FILES EDIT(S) THAT JUST INVOLVES A SIMPLE "COPY-REPLACE" OF ONE FILE IN PARTICULAR... and so... not having to stop and browse about the HD DURING the installation to sort this out will help ease your mind about this. Perform that File R&R AFTER a Successful Installation of TIS2000 Suite onto your HP Laptop.
Prior to the TIS2000 Installation, You should go into your "Devices" Menu and Disable any and all of your Wireless and Hard Line RJ-45 Ethernet Components... you do not have to remove them... just Disable them all, While you are in there... make sure that your Serial Port and all Com Ports (Com1, Com2, Com3, etc...) are ENABLED and make a note of their order and status as being Enabled... both in the Devices Section AND in your BIOS, too! (Very Important Thing To Do). Unless you intend to pay ACdelco for a TISTIDS (TISWEB) Subscription for the very Latest Models of GM Vehicles... There is No Reason to have to Go On Line when using your "GYMKO" Scanner for ordinary PCM and Module Updates.
The reason the later (64) Bit Versions of Windows 7, 8 and 10 Flavors will NOT work for the TIS2000 Installation ... is because they no longer support (16) Bit and (32) Bit Program Installer Applications without performing some very exotic programming leaps through hoops to awaken that feature... Hence... Windows XP-Pro SP3... is the EOL for the OS able to recognize the 32-cum-16 Bit installation requirements involved.
And just to give a better explanation of What all these limitations involve...and WHY they exist... Way Back When... GM , ACDElco and Hewlett Packard put their collective coconuts together to transition from the Old Tech1 over to the "NEW" Tech2... and some Short-Sighted, Penny-Pinching Jackass on their team decided he could Brown Nose "The Corp" little by saving a Few Pennies on The Dollar short-sheeting the need for an Updated Binary Software Installer Application Layer...which followed on the heals of the Tech1. That conversation sounded something like THIS:
"Look... There's no sense in spending any more money on Software or Technical Support than we really need to... so we're going to use the older 16 Bit Model of the Application Installer for New TIS2000 Software.... Just like the Old Tech1 had ... and we'll save some Money doing it that way..." 
I hope this long and drawn out explanation edifies on why there was a break point for the Windows OS... beginning and ending with the only 32 Bit and 64 Bit flavors that would tolerate this 'installation regression'. They simply did not want to pay Programmers to prepare and have the Binary Hexadecimal Data String Read/Right Mechanisms updated using newer (32) Bit Code for the 1996 and later flavors of Windows Operating System.

GM Mangoose PRO II vs GM MDI

Hello, what’s the main difference of GM Mangoose PRO II cable and GM MDI interface?
How do i know which one i need?

What is GM Mangoose PRO II:
Mongoose Pro GM II interface (either Drewtech Mongoose pro GM II or Chinese Mangoose pro GM II) is a low-cost, high-performance vehicle network interface that connects a laptop directly to the OBD-II connector. ... Mongoose vehicle interface. Installation CD with device driver (J2534 compatible)
MongoosePro II can support GM GDS2 & Tech2Win:
Because GDS2 & Tech2Win can support different VCIs (Vehicle Communication Interface) based on D-PDU standard, such as GM MDI, Bosch MVCI, Drewtech CarDAQ plus, Drewtech MongoosePro GM II..., GDS2 can recognize the drivers of interface installed, so that the user can select the interace in the application, and make GDS2 to communicate with the ECUs of vehicle.
Some people even think it the best GM diagnostic tool coz technicians can use GM tools incl. MongoosePro GM to work with GM dealer diagnostic application GDS2, but MongoosePro is the cheapest interface compared with others, the user can save money, moreover the clean design of MongoosePro GM II with electronics protected by cable is a maintenance free solution that allows user to avoid frequent damages on main diagnostic cable and the communication port of interface.

What is GM MDI:
General Motors MDI vehicle communication interface (VCI) for wireless J2534 reprogramming and diagnostics. Note: Requires software subscription to GM SPS (Service Programming System), which must be purchased separately
Used for Pass-Thru programming on all GM vehicles since 1996 and forward. ... The MDI manages the transfer of data between a vehicle's onboard ECU network with an auxiliary CAN bus, and offers faster programming speed using J2534.
The MDI interface can support GM GDS2 & Tech2Win & Global TIS.
GM Mangoose PRO II vs GM MDI:
ALMOST THE SAME:
The Mongoose Pro GM II ALMOST does everything the MDI does. Currently that is:
- Module reflashing with SPS
- Diagnostics with Tech2Win software
- Diagnostics with GDS2 software.
Kind of different!
The GDS2 software package includes the data bus diagnostic tool. Using the data bus diagnostic tool, the MDI will allow you to see voltage levels on the data bus, the Mongoose will not. The Mongoose will run the data bus diagnostic tool, but only partially.
Bosch corporate provides no support for installation and use of the MDI with GM software.
Drew does.
This is the big price difference.
Besides, GM Mangoose PRO only for Opel/Vauxhall/GM with Tech2Win and GDS2.
Full coverage diagnostic and SPS programming
GM MDI can be use as a passthru for other software too
All in all, both are good
Good to know:
Why do you need both Tech2Win and GDS2:
