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.
The old computer is running XP but that is going away.

The new one will be using Win 7 Home Premium.

She would have a meltdown if I attempted to change her to a Mac or Linux. I don't know beans about Linux. She has been using Windows since Windows 95.
