I get what you're saying but grandpa is not going to be using Unix (Linux) so /var/www/ is out of question. I'm thinking more along the lines of Publii with a built-in Caddy, just to give an example.
If the computer doesn't have a publicly reachable IP then that's a much tougher obstacle. That can only be solved by voting with your wallet for ISPs that do give you a public IP with reachable ports. Net neutrality is critical for decentralisation and self-hosting.

The button to enable appache is in the settings dialog under "sharing" I think. I only use that path because I have no idea what the windows equivalent is but it also ships with a similar feature.
