Windows users tend to be something like spoiled children, and like dealing with a spoiled child, you have to find ways to get them to learn in spite of themselves. We probably need to suggest that they try to find someone with a stronger OS rather than the weak one they have, so that they might have that stronger OS person process their files for them. We just can't expect everyone to have the patience and cognitive skills to be able to handle these tasks -- isn't that what Windows was created for anyway -- the "OS for Dummies"?
