Try creating a new administrative user and retry. If not, uninstall all aspects of iTunes, and reinstall afresh

160X issues are USB connection errors. Uninstalling USB drivers and all iTunes components, and rebooting resolves this 9 out of 10 times. You can try checking your AV and firewall, and also try editing your host file and removing Apple hosts and retry. If you have another computer, use that. Otherwise, create another administrative user and turn off UAC.

7.0.4 should be faster than 6.1.3. Maybe there's another reason for the 4 being slow.

Not as much for the iPhone 4. iOS 7 has a much heavier reliance on hardware specs, hence the decrease in some aspects of the iOS such as transparency, animations, etc. Though 7.1 is an improvement over 7.0-7.0.6 in terms of performance and resource management.

Is your device placed in Pwned DFU mode.

sometimes i tried keeping in DFU mode (i dont know whether it is exact word or not) directly by holding power button for 3 seconds (apple will appear) and then home buttons for about 15 seconds (screen will be black)..... keep holding home button release power button and then after some time release home button also.

some times i tried keeping iphone in Pwned DFU mode with the help of redsnow for both ways i am getting same error...

If you have SHSH blobs and proper APTickets for those iOS's, then yes you can.

If it's compatible with iOS 7.0.X, then it's compatible with iOS 7.1. There are no differences in the core of the iOS's. so as long as it's iOS 7 compatible, it'll work on 7.1.
