Windows 10: changing windows 10 system language to english on single language licence

Bought a used laptop, came with windows in spanish.
Need a step by step instruction on how to change it to english.
Tried the Youtube guides, tried the support chatbot, etc.

I can download the language pack, but set as default is not an available option.

Is there an easy way..

If not,
Would a reinstall interfere with all my installed programs..

Change system language on a single language licence

Yes it is possible to change the language on Windows 10 Single Language

Click the link below for a step by step on how to do that. That page also lists all the links for the different language packs:

Tooltips displayed in the wrong language

Although my version of Windows is set to English and the GPU-Z "Tooltip Language" appears as "System Default (English (United Kingdom))", the tooltips are appearing in the language corresponding to my system locale (or possibly keyboard layout), not the actual system language. I frequently change the keyboard layout and date format (to match the clients I'm working for and the language I'm writing in), but the system language never changes (and software is supposed to run in that language).

I can manually select "English (United States)", but this basically makes it impossible for me to select the "correct" language (i.e., UK English), because it doesn't appear in the list (other than as "system default" - but is then ignored). Obviously it makes no difference to me if it's in UK or US English, but people with other language combinations might have a problem.

It seems the routine that populates the language list in the options is (correctly) determining the system language, but the routine that actually generates the tooltips is (incorrectly) reading the system locale instead of language.

 

I have single language Window 10 and I cannot change system language into English

I do not know I do have single language Window10. I added the UK English in the input that I had already had English(US) and Thai. After changing, the system language changed into Vietnamese. Although I deleted the UK english and tried to set the system
language into US, the system and Microsoft Edge still Vietnamese. Now, I do need only English and Thai. I cannot read Vietnamese. Do you have any suggestion?
