Hello,
You can keep the current domain via mapping it to your new site by following the steps in this article: https://en.support.wordpress.com/map-existing-domain/
Keep in mind it would require you to use a paid plan in order to do so, visit this link to learn more: https://wordpress.com/pricing/
Regarding the content it depends on the platform used on the original site you can visit this link to learn more: https://en.support.wordpress.com/import/
What is the original web address of the website in question?
Best of luck.

Hi saskiavenerdiblog,
If you want to keep domain name and host your friend’s website with WordPress.com, please follow this link to map your existing domain with us:

If you would like to keep OVH hosting and domain, then you will have a self-hosted WordPress site. In that case, we do not provide any support. But there is a great place to look for any assistance you may need within our helpful community at http://www.wordpress.org
