    Windows has a habit of automatically updating in the most inopportunet times preventing the user accomplishing their task at hand. This is especially frustrating with old hardware. A GNU/Linux distribution will not decide to stop your workflow. Its also a good selling point to reduce boot times of several minutes to a boot time under 30 seconds. You will have to choose a desktop environment as close to windows as possible though such as budgie. And never ever try to introduce them to libreoffice. They should feel at home using onlyoffice though.
