What version should I install on a Win7 PRO 64bit PC ... a brand new, never used, Lenovo laptop

My old 2012 Toshiba (Win7 Home premium 32bit) has v4.0.4 installed and I still have the original download
- downloaded on 3-Feb-2014 ... SHA256:= 120d6bf913de5db9a406c8efe8e23cf1f6763e87977443c6581f3807d90f5a0f

Can I install my old ClassicShellSetup_4_0_4.exe (5.4 MB) onto the new Lenovo or should I use another version ?

I have downloaded and extracted (a huge 35 MB) "Ivo Beltchev-Version 4.0.4-2016038-3437.zip" from http://www.mediafire.com/folder/v8cv2m87ama92/archive

Extraction revealed a list of language EXE versions, including ClassicShellSetup_4_0_4.exe (5.36 MB) which I assume is the English language version

But what is ClassicShellPDB_4_0_4.zip about ? Do I need to know ? Looks like 32-bit and 64-bit files but how would I use them ? If needed ?

Would appreciate your guidance, thank you :)

All Classic Shell versions support Windows 7 including the current latest release, 4.2.5.

The PDB files are for other developers who are debugging compatibility problems.
All you need is the latest installer you can download from the main page.
The archive is for people who for some reason need a specific old version. For most, the latest version is the right one.
