Hey Im sorta new to this, so please bear with me

I recently bought a Explorer and it has been sitting for a while in the county and now when i have it home (got it here by tow truck) when it was started up it was blowing white smoke. My bf is suspecting a blown head gasket (this doesnt make me happy) but is it possible that it just need to me "cleaned out" oil change and what not?

White smoke almost always means coolant in the cylinder..... a blown head gasket is a pretty good bet.

White smoke is also from condensation built up in the exhaust. If it only did this on first start and not now, then do not worry about it.
