Perhaps not; I don't see it in my folder of "stuff I burned to CD for her PC". Her DSL was broken even a year ago. BUT Firefox is what she is using now, on my mac, for job searches. So she is getting a little exposure.

"Administrative assistant" or some such, I think. At a banking type institution, where she has rather specific tasks, and no allowed use of the internet otherwise. Which is too bad, as she hadn't learned even basic skills, that might help on some NEXT job.

Thanks -- the several such recommendations here are exactly what I wanted to know. I'll get started on that project.

Can I download the Win10 package to my MAC and burn to a CD, or do I need internet access during the install? I can get the latter by bringing the PC to my house, but burning a CD at work (much faster internet) would get the process started faster.

edit: The only web source I see requires access FROM the PC, so it knows eligibility. If that's my only choice, that's OK. Just thought I'd ask.
