But the thing you describe about a slave drive is a little too much for me, I do not have that experience with PC's at all and I will not even go there to try...

It really is easy. First take the drive out of your friend's computer, four screws and two connections to the motherboard. Look at the top of the hard drive to see how to change the jumpers to make it a slave drive. Do not install the hard drive using the screws to the computer where it will be a slave. Just connect the power supply and the motherboard to the slave drive. Boot into Windows. Copy her data, etc.
