Why not buy an asus laptop with linux on it and introduce her to linux

You've already mentioned the two ways of getting the Windows games to
work on linux.
More help could be given if we knew what programs that would be needed
to be shoe-horned into Ubuntu.

Hi folks,
This morning I popped into see my latest convert to Ubuntu who was
having a bit of trouble printing labels off on her printer. While I

To continue the saga, I introduced my granddaughter to Edubuntu this
evening and, after assuring her that I would keep windows for her games
etc., she asked me there and then to do it. Her machine is fairly old
