Is my Iphone restore lost forever?

Here’s the story: I have a laptop running Vista from 2008.

I have been using it as my Itunes restore point.

When I upgraded from my Iphone 6, I first put the restore point on this computer.

Now Itunes is not letting me restore from this PC because it’s not running the right version of itunes.

The right version of itunes requires the right version of windows.

The right version of windows requires a fresh install from scratch on the pc.

I think this means that my restore will be lost if I try to get to the Itunes version that could help me, which is completely past the point of what I am trying to obtain!

Should I borrow someones Iphone 6 to get the restore back onto a phone and then try to go to another computer and restore that phone onto the valid pc with the right Itunes or to iCloud, and then restore from there?

Help please! I really don’t want to get this wrong!

Apple always pulls this kind of garbage where you might lose EVERYTHING!
