I was thinking of the initial set up eg Microsoft account/local

Will his old printer work with 8.1? Getting his materials
transferred from the old XP machine. etc Should keep me out of
mischief for a while :-)
Depends on how old the printer is, make, model, etc. Check the
manufacturer's website and see if they have Win8x drivers listed for
it.
Although Win10 might have a built-in driver, so if he's lucky he might
not need to do that.
I'd be curious to know what happens with the printer.
All set up and working in 2.5 hours, with a glass of whisky for
assistance!
Local account, no password, boot to desktop.
Brother DCP-135C printer used Microsoft built in driver. Webcam also
found a driver automatically.
Installed desktop version of Skype - up and running.
Installed Open Office, Firefox and Flash player My neighbour seems
delighted with his new system :-)
Who had the whisky, you or your neighbour, or both? :-)
It's nice that something works out as it ought to...
Both of course :-)
