That is the good thing with claymore miner, it will auto detect gpu, and then apply the best settings for it.

You have to use a 64 bit OS to mine Ethereum at all.
Win 10 seems to be very sensitive to driver version on mining - I've seen quite a few "stick with 15.12 Catalyst" comments for Win10.
LINUX is generally easier to work with in many ways - no worries about dummy plugs for one - but the tools are a bit more primitive for overclocking and fan control.
I'm no longer legendary just in my own mind!

Some times, the auto detect does not work properly. It will set ethi 0 to HD 7970. I have to set it to 1 manually.

Definitely 14.04, as most of the miners have pre-compiled versions for 14.04 floating around SOMEWHERE.
ignore 16.x - they deliberately broke compatability in 16.x with the fglrx drivers, deciding to go only support the "open source" stuff - which does NOT support OpenCL worth beans IF at all yet and flat out does NOT work with mining software.
There's a bug in 14.04.4 that can cause issues if you use "mixed" GPU environments, but if you don't try to mix-and-match it's not an issue, and it CAN be worked around even if you do - it's on their "fix for 14.04.5" list, and didn't happen in 14.04.3 for some reason.
