I've been doing this for 30+ years professionally. If she's comfortable with Windows then stick with it. I tell people that ask me to go up to the store and find one that's comfortable for them. By that I mean, does the keyboard fit your hands, do you want a full numeric keypad, make sure the screen is the size that work for their eyes, pick it up and figure out if the weight is good, etc. Have her do that then, as her employer, find the one that best fits HER needs. You're not buying 800 laptops, just one.Then go configure the best make and model that fits those requirements. It sounds cheesy but an employee happy with the tool that they're going to spend most of their time on is a productive employee.
Man, I have been farting all day. An average of 8 seconds per fart. There are are 7.7 billion people in the world. Let's say 35% of those people fart 8 seconds per fart. That is 2.695 billion people farting for an average of 8 seconds per fart. That is roughly a little less than 22 billion fart seconds per day. Or 366666666.667 farts per hours. The average volume of a fart is 0.264172 gallons. That equals 366666666.667 gallons of farts per hour. Talk about man made global warming. We should tax farts.
And take some basic and intermediate accounting classes. If the company takes off you'll actually be able to understand what your accountant is saying.
Trump won 2600 counties to Clinton's 500. That's 84%. How is that razor thin? You can blame the Electoral College but it is there for a reason so that voters in the middle of Kansas or Montana or Nevada or Illinois have just as a loud a voice as everyone else.
The tech industry works in waves. I lost a lot of money in 1999 when VA Linux went public at $324 a share. I'm older now (obviously) and am more conservative in my investments. I should have invested in the online Porn industry, I'd own an island by now.

Waves. Everything comes and goes.
I agree with the OP. "Hello World" was the first program I ever tried. "20 goto 10" blew my mind when I was 7 years old. Got me thinking and involved in computers. That was on a TI94/A with 2k of memory and a total of 4k with the 2k expansion brick you plugged in the back. Get off my lawn!:)
If I had Mod points I'd give them to you. I can't remember what I had for lunch yesterday but totally remember Commander and how fast it was with the shortcut and arrow keys once you remembered them.
What is your point? The majority of these Ransomware hits are end users that aren't educated correctly. PEBKAC. If *nix became the majority of the Desktop's used in a business environment then the Ransomware people would just go after every exploit they can find in those.
It isn't about the OS, it's about the business educating their employees correctly.
Criminals don't care about the way to exploit something for criminal gain, they care about the criminal gain.
I agree and disagree with you. Most of the companies out there offer some sort of tuition reimbursement and or certification payment. 99.9% of the companies out there value multiple skills. They're all looking for good people to fit the jobs they need, If they're going to pay for you to go to school then do it. Learn accounting then apply that to your life, then ask your boss about your department/team/group's budget and what it entails.
Take advantage of every opportunity given to you. Learn management after that so you can apply your accounting learned skills to that. Meet people...other IT, the people in Customer Service, the people that work the Help Desk, the Sales Managers.
Ask them what their issues are in an overall point. These are the people that you support. Most people in IT don't understand that their job is to support all those people.
. IT is the only department that is an expense in every company.
The rest of the departments (sales, CSR, HR, Admin) their jobs are to either save money or produce money so they can pay for IT. IT is the most expensive part of any company. Learn how everything you touch/fix/look at/processes in the company works.
Smile, ask questions about the direction of the company of managers. Soak it all up. Continue what you're doing coding wise but but understand that if you do all the above you will me noticed, promoted and your opinion asked.
Work hard, pay attention to more than what you do, offer suggestions, take advantage of the benefits especially the tuition reimbursement and keep moving towards greater things.

Where the hell do you live that $10,000 a month isn't enough to cover your costs of living and save some money?
I love you.

My bad, 96863066.6668 gallons of farts per hour.

Yes, because we need more government holding our hands and guiding us into the future.

Here's the thing though, Microsoft gave users plenty of options to not upgrade to the free Windows 10 upgrade. I believe at least a year. PEBKAC.

Yes, more laws! More regulations! Laws laws laws!
