So im helping an old lady that I know across the street set up her new hp pavilion g7.. set it up so that everything was really simple.. only a few apps on her home screen ect.. but she can't figure out newer version of outlook and forgets how to get to her homescreen/desktop on a daily basis.
Her previous computer was running windows xp.. and she needs e-mail to run her business.. which she runs off of outlook express 6 (which doesnt run on windows 8).
She cannot understand anything beyond her previous set up which she has engrained into her routine for the last 10 years. So I have the challenge to basically mirror her last set up onto her new machine and I really don't know if it's possible.
Running a VM with xp won't work.. she would forget how to start it and get to it through Win 8. Is there anyway I can mirror xp/install it over windows 8? Am I going to run into hardware issues?
Bare with me guys.. I know this is hopeless but im tired of feeling guilty for not helping this lady.. PLEASE HELP!
