  1. I bought a laptop in China. How to switch it to English?


    How to make preinstalled Windows less Chinese and more English? I don't understand anything in Chinese and I already installed English language pack but I cant select English language as a system language in control panel , only available option is Chinese.

    Any solution, Microsoft?

    Change windows 10 chinese to english on laptop bought in china

    I just bought a laptop in china. comes with windows 10 in Chinese. I have seen post about how to change for Chinese to English. I called the Microsoft service assistance and they ask me to pay 295 euros to get a new version! they did not offer to provide
    new KEY as previously said in a post. they have been extremely clear : I need to pay this sum to get the English version! this is a true racket! did you have o pay this amount? thks

    Windows 10 can't display English in chinese laptop bought in china

    Hi

    How do I add English to a chinese version of windows 10 on a laptop bought in china?

    It says it "only allows one language pack" in chinese in the language settings. It must be a home addition.

    My laptop was bought in China recently with windows8 chinese version. There was no option to change the language to English then.

    I was told that in china, if you want english then you have to pay for 'windows professional 8', so they told me to wait for a windows 10 upgrade first, since its "free" for one year.

    I just upgraded the chinese version of windows8 to windows10 though some language guess work during the setup since it was all in chinese, and when it finished, it still doesnt allow me to change the menus to english. I.e. its all still in chinese and says
    "only one language pack allowed. I can download some english language packs, but it doesnt allow me to change.

    So my question is, do I need to pay for windows 10 professional in order to change the language? And since its "free" for one year for legitimate windows 8 upgrades, how can I use it for free for one year in english rather than chinese.

    Or is there an option to select a windows 10 professional option that has multi lingual suoport (I upgraded through the automatic windows update menu, so it automatically upgraded windows 10 home edition = i.e. not through an ISO process. Do I need to do
    it through the ISO installatin process?

    Hope you can explain this, coz theres many people out there who are stumped by this, not only me.
