Windows 10: Re-install windows 10 home single language with a different language

I bought a laptop with windows 10 home single language installed in French. It does not allow me to change the language to English. Can I re-install in English? how?

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

Using original Win 7 Key with different installation language

Good and bad news!!!

The good: i've found the language packs (unsure if the English one is the same as the one in Windows Updates, but i think so). There are many other languages for both x86 and x64 systems.

The bad: it's not in CAB file so i can't add it to the Windows 7 Installation.


@ least, it's a step in the right direction.

 

Windows 8.1 Single Language upgrading to Windows 10 Single Language?

Thank you for your reply.

Here is what I did:

• Fist upgrade to the version that Windows allows you to upgrade to which in my case was Windows 10 Home Single Language (at this point in Russian).
  
• After upgrade, get the new product key that was assigned to your new Windows 10 Home Single Language
• Here is the catch - the new product key will only work for this version of Windows 10 which means for any Windows Home Single Language you want. You can install a different language by making a clean install of a Windows 10 version of a different
  language and installing from ISO or USB) - see further ...
• Open the Media Tool that Windows provides for download and create either a DVD with an ISO or a USB Flash Drive and choose the version
  WINDOWS 10 HOME SINGLE LANGUAGE
• Choose the language you want (in my case ENGLISH).
• Make sure you create the right version of it (32bit or 64bit)
• Once you are done, restart your computer and let it boot by itself with the version that was on automatically (Russian) and find the product key for your version.
• Make sure your Windows 10 was activated properly before making a clean install.

Now you will be making a clean install so make sure you personal files are backed up.

• Open Start and enter msinfo32 and run it.
• You will find the product key in the properties. Write it down on a piece of paper.
• Insert the DVD or the USB drive.
• Now shut down the computer.
• Turn on the computer and interrupt the start up entering the option (depending on your device it will be a different key). For my HP it was ESC.
• Choose Boot Options.
• Let it boot from the DVD or the USB.
• Install Windows 10 Single Language. You can find another thread here for more exact info on how to proceed with the install itself. Search for "Clean install of Windows 10".
• Again, this will only work if you first have upgraded to Windows 10 previously.
• Now you can either enter the product key or SKIP IT.
• This way I got the English version of Windows 10 Home Single Language.

Hope it helps!
