You may want to think about using Windows. It has many problems (always has and always will). Unless she needs the power of Windows and/or special programs that only run on Windows, then a good alternative could be Chromebox.
A Chromebox works just like a Chromebook (which has been around for over 10 years) but uses a separate keyboard and monitor. The big advantage of a Chromebox (or Chromebook) is that it doesn't need any of the antivirus software the Windows requires, the updates are automatic in the background so it never interrupts what you are doing. It's very safe and secure. If all she is going to do is surf the web, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon etc. or write a few letters, then a Chromebox would do her very well.
If you use the chrome browser then you already know how to use a Chromebox for the most part.
In my 50 years of using computers (from IBM mainframes to mini computers and PCs) I've settled on using a Chromebook for all my computer needs and left the Windows world completely 2 years ago.
There are plenty of YouTubes out there showing you the Chromebook (again a Chromebox uses an external monitor and keyboard and mouse) and what it does (doesn't do).
I've converted several people here in The Villages to a Chromebox and/or a Chromebook. I keep it simple, just web stuff and some spreadsheets and word documents (which are compatible with Excel and Word).
