Welcome my good man to our little corner of the world.
Now I will try to answer both of your questions. First a dongle contains
your authorization for JAWS. The idea is that it stays connected to your
machine the entire time you are using it. Then if it is removed JAWS will
not be activated on that system and only run in 40 minute mode. Think of a
dongle as a portable license for JAWS that you can take with you. For
example to another computer to work on for a friend who is sited but has
JAWS on his or her system for when you need to use it.
JAWS pro or home will work on any version of windows, but if you own all of
your computers and do not work on any of them for another person and get
paid for your services then you most likely are qualified for JAWS home
which is far less expensive.
With luck I have helped you, if not just let me know what is not clear
enough for you.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Activating Jaws dongle?
Apart from saying hello, Gera (Gerardo) from Mexico, I'm really looking
forward to learning all I can on here since it has been several years since
I used Jaws as my main screen reader, thus hoping to refresh my memory on
how certain things work etc. I'm in the process of getting a Jaws license --
from my employer, and they tell me that in the package, it'll come with a
CD, and some sort of USB drive. Is this USB drive the Dongle? if so, how
could I transfer the activation key from the Dongle to my Hard drive, so as
not to always have the USB drive in, making space for when I need to use my
regular Flash drive, or is the Dongle meant for only used in this way, and
not transferred? Please understand that it has years and years (since the
floppy disc era) that I haven't activated a Jaws license, thus technology
has changed a lot! Lastly can I use Jaws in 40-minute mode while my license
arrives, so I can refresh my muscle memory on how different tasks are done?
I ask this because the time I tried using a Jaws 40-minute demo, the
computer would always launch Jaws on starup, and no matter what I did, thus
I had to uninstall Jaws to get things in order again.
thanks for having this list still around, and looking forward to info.
