I bought my Taranis a while ago. It's still got the original version of OpenTX FW installed. Looking at the Radio Setup screen 4/7 (Version) it says:-

SVN: opentx-r2940
DATE: 2014-02-02
TIME: 17:32:09

EEPR: 215

From reading the info on the OpenTX website it appears that the FW has gone through various version upgrades with corresponding upgrades to Companion. I've been through a BIG learning curve to set my models up on my Taranis and I'm reluctant to upgrade the FW in case I have to go through another learning curve and to avoid the risk of the upgrades making my models set up redundant.

However, I do want to set up some new models via the Companion GUI on my PC and I need to know which version of Companion I need that is compatible with my version of OpenTX and where to download it from?

Hope someone can help.

You need to use companion9x version 1.52 from http://www.open-tx.org/downloads.html
If it prompts you to update say no and disable automatic update checks in preferences so it doesn't bother you anymore.

Thank you

My PC is running Windows 7. Do you know if I will need the Zadig driver for the PC and Taranis to talk to each other? The reason I ask is that the pdf for my version of OpenTX makes reference to zadig being required to flash the FW. On the basis that I don't intend to upgrade the FW am I correct to assume that I don't need zadig?

Correct.
