hmm, that's a tough one, the KDE defaults are pretty good these days. maybe try to identify any points of friction and configure KDE to be more similar to Windows. a few that come to mind:
Ensure double-click is selected for opening files in Dolphin
Ensure Flatpak is working in Discover
Windows users are used to desktop icons, if she wants that, set the desktop to Folder View (or teach her the glorious ways of Application Launcher and a clean icon-less desktop)
Play around with the different options for Application Launchers, Taskbar, Task switcher.
Set up virtual desktops, and the desktop switcher applet? it's such a killer feature. just tell her about it so she doesn't get annoyed all her windows are suddenly gone. also maybe disable "scroll on desktop background to switch virtual desktop"
I'm not sure if setting up a Windows-like theme is a good idea or not? If everything looks "the same" she'll expect it to work the same way, and get annoyed whenever it doesn't.
Because it's KDE, remind her that if there's something she doesn't like, chances are she can change it.
OH, and use dark theme! Breeze Light looks kinda meh and old fashioned. Breeze Dark looks slick and modern
thank you very much!
