Thank you Michael for prompt response.
I was about to cancel this post because I ordered the USB stick from Linux, I do have the links but wasn't sure which version of Rufus to use. To be honest, I don't know why I didn't do that in the first place.... I had used Rufus a long, long time ago to put Mint on a 32bit XP machine, that worked like a charm.

Thank you again for your time, have a great day, Dave.

Your subject says "Which Rufus version to use on Win 7" but your body says "I want to create a linux USB stick". Assuming you mean you want to use your Win 7 machine to create a USB stick that boots to linux, be aware that Rufus versions after 3.22 do not run on Win 7, AFAIK.
