Windows 10: Change Windows 10 from French to English

I want to change the Windows version on a laptop I purchased in France. I can change the language and keyboard etc. But, this isn't what I want. I would like to completely make the laptop forget it's French at all. It only likes to pull up French searches. The spell-check highlights nearly every word and sometimes Windows warnings etc. come up in French.Is there any way to do this please?
