I'd do either Win 7 if windows is a must, or LinuxMint. And, with LinuxMint, as long as her router will forward the connection, you can just ssh in to install new software, updates, etc.
I agree... downgrade to the memory to 8Gb which is plenty and get a Windows 7 license. That said, I would probably just have a regular Dell or HP shipped to me and then configure it for her use.
