    Try to convince her getting w10. It's better than 8.x
    You just need to tame it and customise it to your needs.
    Agreed Windows 8 is a dead end.

    That's a good idea. Using a mixture of apps (classic shell (open shell); winaero tweaker, etc) might do the trick.

    Just make a list of the changes you make and store any downloads to that end as a future update and definitely the next Version Upgrade will change things, usually rewrites the Registry.
