Version needed: Since SAS is on an annual license you can maintain the latest, currently 9.3 for your operating environment. Some organizations stay with older versions though. Windows 7 pretty much means you need version 9.2.3 or later; unless your laptop has very limited memory it should be sufficient.

The on line help installed with SAS has a section in the Contents called Learning to Use SAS which is actually useful. For beginners there is also a book, The Little SAS Book, that is very helpful as well to beginners.
