System Specs

I thought Microsoft was still providing security updates to XP, just not any bug fixes. Anyhow, yes. You will have A LOT of trouble finding drivers for XP.

If the new PC has a touchscreen, stick with Windows 8 and help her find some tutorials. Otherwise, Windows 7 and show her how to search in the start menu for things.
