Windows 10: Language support for Windows 11

To complete the Windows 11 no matter 21H1 or 22H2 Out of Box Experience, I wonder if the PC name device name and the account name user name can support non-English language characters?or for the Chinese version of Windows 11, then will Chinese characters be allowed in the PC name device name and the account name user name ?

Greek Language Support for Voice Typing in Windows 11 - When will it be available?

I am planning to upgrade to windows 11 and looking forward to use the new voice typing feature. However, I noticed that the greek language is not among the supported languages (a peculiar and annoying fact, given the long list of the already supported languages).

So, I would like to know when greek language support for Voice Typing will be available in Windows 11.

Thanks in advance

 

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.
