Okay, I found a laptop at the dumpster where I reside and it seems to be working. the problem is, it has Windows XP on it but the last owner was of asian decent apparently because the prompt comes up to put in the user password...Well.....that's as far as I get, I don't anything but english!
I was told by a local computer store to try downloading Windows XP Home or windows 98 to erase all on it prior.
I just want to get in an use it...i'm not looking for anything fancy...and I don't care about all the bells and whistles, just want to see if it can be used for my 9 yr old daughter to play around with OR should I just trash it??
P.S. Windows offers a free XP download but is this what I need? what about anything else needed? Help!
I'm not a "techy", so break it down to me like you would a child okay
