Is it advisable to purchase advance train tickets from Windsor-Eaton (Central) to Paddington in August? Thank you in advance.

Sorry for my lack of clarity - It would be a one-way ticket and yes we would prefer the cheapest/fastest public transport option.

me.crewe gave you the answer. Contactless from Windsor & Eton Central to Paddington. No ticket needed.
For schedules use either GWR's website or the National Rail website.

Those are mutually exclusive words, especially if travelling beyond Paddington. The cheapest (but the longest journey time) is the Green Line bus at £3- it runs to London Victoria.
Even if you add on a £3 tube fare from Hammersmith to Paddington it is still the cheapest- https://passenger-line-assets.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/readingbuses/RBUS/702-timetable-20260328-de010614.pdf
