Hi would like to know if i can use any windows 7 for bootcamp or do i need to buy a certain one? Also is it recommended to upgrade my ram?

I am trying to bootcamp my MacBook Pro (late 2011 model) and i need help. on what windows 7 to get and how much ram to upgrade

Assuming that you have the 15" Late 2011 MBP - MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2011) - Technical Specifications, you can go up to 16GB RAM. From the base 4GB to 8GB and then 16GB.
If up plan to switch between OS X and Windows, 4GB may be sufficient, but if you plan to use both simultaneously using a Virtualization solution, then more RAM helps.
