   I suppose she does, except that I don't have any Windows install media.   

   I am trying to be funny.  Laugh, dammit!

   Mom has a computer that works, a firewall that works, two office suites with a high level of Windows interoperability, and another word processor and another spreadsheet.  If she wants to be a terrorist about grammar and language, she can learn LaTeX, although I don't think she knows this.  She can allow grandchildren on the computer without massive supervision, because they cannot damage anyting.  

   If there is a problem, she has the install media, although I would probably have to help her.
