Installing Windows XP

My sister wanted to wipe down her husband’s old Windows XP machine so that he could just run WordPerfect on it (he’s switched to a Mac for everything else), so I offered to do it for her as she’d probably call me for help anyway. I started the install with a hard drive re-format around 7:30 am. I didn’t finish the install and applying all the patches until somewhere around 2 pm. Holy cow there were a lot of updates and each time I applied one, I had to apply another one. Luckily I only had to click a few times to get it working. I’m so glad I don’t deal with Windows on a daily basis.
