The first problem I would hand the new computer is how do we make this available to everyone in an office environment. Be careful... The genie in The bottle might get you. The AI might decide that to fulfill this wish it can be done by eliminating all office workers. Now pick a method of elimination...

You don’t need a quantum computer for that.
Quantum computers will be able to efficiently solve a large number of the traditionally NP-complete / intractable problems that standard computers choke on when dealing with a dataset of any worthwhile size.
Downside is that a quantum computer can probably brute force TLS encryption. Upside, however, is that a quantum computer can create encryption schemes that quantum computers will struggle to brute force, so the arms race continues.

The first task I would set is developing an operating system that works for microsoft.

Computers are deterministic. Quantum phenomena are unpredictable. How are the two reconciled?

splain it to me, how it works, as if I were a fifth grader ... You ask the universe to solve it for you. The scariest part, is that it does.

"...find a cure for cancer..." Cancer cannot live in an alkaline environment. Raise the PH level of a cancer victim's body to 7.5 and cancer will perish.
One teaspoon of baking soda and a squirt of lemon juice in a glass of water (once a day) does it for me.

Ordinary bits are either on, or off. With massive arrays of bits, computing is possible.
Q-Bits, used in Quantum Computing, can have one of an infinite number of states. Armed with only one Q-Bit, computing is possible.
