    Change the windows installation language settings


    Hello. As it is seen on the screenshot below, I am trying to clean install windows 11. However, I bought this laptop from Germany and since then, some components had German language in it. I could download the US Language pack but still, some parts had German language. Today, after mounting the iso file, it is showing me this message and I want to download windows 11 in English. How can I do so?

    :)

    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
    To change your Windows display language (that's the language you see most often in Windows and apps), first add a language, download and install the language pack, and then follow these steps.
    • 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 the language that you want to set as your display language.
    • Tap or click Set as primary to move the language to the top of the list. If the language can become your Windows display language, you'll see Will be display language after next sign-in appear under the language.
    • Sign out and then sign back in to finish.
    And here is some more info --> Add Language Packs to Windows

    Changing display language setting in windows 10

    Hello,

    Changing the display language on your computer can be easily done. Simply type
    Time and language settings on search> click Region & language> choose your preferred language. If your desired language is not available, you can download and install additional languages by following the steps below:

    • Sign in using Administrative account.
    • Press Windows+I to open the Settings window and then click
      Time & Language.
    • Select Region & language.
    • Then click Add a language.
    • Window shows languages that are available to be installed.
    • Choose your preferred language.
    • On the Time & Language screen, you’ll see any languages you have installed.
    • Click a particular language and hit Options and then click
      Download
      to download the language pack and keyboard for that language.

    To change the Language of Welcome Screen and New User Accounts
    follow these steps:

    • Open Control Panel.
    • Click Region.
    • On the Administrative tab, click the Copy settings
      button.

    Change the windows installation language settings

    I can not change display language

    Hi,



    Thank you for your reply.



    I suggest you to Change settings that may block installation

    There are advanced language settings that may block the download of language packs. To revert these settings to their defaults values so that you can download language packs, follow these steps:


    • Open Control Panel. To do this, type Control Panel in the
      Search box, and then tap or click Control Panel in the search results list.

    • Tap or click Clock, Language and Region. (If you are viewing Control Panel in icon display, select
      Language, and then go to step 4.)

    • Tap or click Language.

    • Tap or click Advanced settings.

    • Examine the Override for Windows display language and
      Override for default input method lists. Make sure that the
      Use language list (recommended)
      option is selected for both lists


    Keep us posted on this issue so that we can assist you better.
