Sachys: The base game is upgraded to Legendary Edition when you do that.
Did that myself yesterday. Couldnt figure out how to get the DLC installed. Turned out I needed to exit steam, restart and verify the files.
It then downloaded them (about 1.7GB).
Make sure your friend also installs te unnoficial community patches - worth doing. :)
Grargar: OK. Suppose I were to send my friend a Steam gift of the game. Once he received it, he would then exit Steam, restart it, verify the files and he should be good to go?

Though Like i said - its worth adding those community patches (they're stickied on the community hub for Skyrim).
Edit: oh, page #1000
Also, he'll have to check the expansions under "Data Files" on the launcher. The same sticky about the community patches will tell him the best order.
