Windows 10: Can't completely change language in Win 11 Pro

Hello !!!!Bought a new Laptop that came with Windows 11 Home Spanish. Bought Windows 11 Pro license. Have tried multiple ways to change the display language to English and it does not completly work. Now I have a Windows 11 Pro in SpanGlish.None of the Copilot, Chatgpt, DeepSeek suggested procedures and CMD commands have been able to succesfully change the language completely.I know reinstalling Windows 11 Pro English version would work, have done it several times.... the point here is if I opt to reinstall I will loose all the Dell Computer programs that came with the Laptop and I don't know

Windows 8.1 update changed the language, can't change back

Maybe, these will help... it seems it is a common enough problem.

Language packs are no longer available after you upgrade to Windows 8.1

And, sort of the same here --> Add a language or keyboard

Quote from above MS web page:

Spoiler Download and install language packs
You'll need to download the language pack if you want to make a language your Windows display language (that's the language you see most often in Windows and apps).

• Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Settings, and then tap Change PC settings.
  (If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, click Settings, and then click Change PC settings.)
• Tap or click Time and language, and then tap or click Region and language.
• Tap or click a language that says Language pack available underneath, and then tap or click Options.
• Tap or click Download. The download process might take a while, depending on your PC and the size of the language pack.
  If you want to make this your display language, see the next section "Change your Windows display language".

Change your Windows display language

Language change

Hi Peter,

It could be that the language pack is missing on your Windows 10 device. With this, we suggest that you try to add the language on your device. Here are the steps:

• Go to Control Panel.
• Select Clock, Language, and Region.
• Under Language, select Add a language.

You may also check the Change input methods on which language are currently installed on your device. You may also click Add a language on the
Change your language preferences window.

Let us know how it goes and feel free to get back to us if you need further assistance.
