What is the best way to set up my Kinect 2.0 on my laptop?

Please excuse my ignorance on the matter and thanks for the quick response and help! So my windows 7 on my Intel will not work correctly, right, because I need Windows 8? And I need to have a "hard wired " USB 3.0 and not the 3.0 attachment that goes into the USB 2.0 because it’s not the native component to the laptop? And in 1., is that saying that all of those listed in the parentheses are not compatible ?

Thanks again!
