This is the persons 3rd time using a pc, he is more interested in
getting Games for this one than what OS is on it.

I talked to him today and he said he liked Windows more now than he did
when he was using Ubuntu.

I'll help him as I can, even though I'm not a G33K, far from it, and
he knows that.
