    I bought a laptop in 2015, in China, where I live. It came with Windows 8.1, single language version. I had to buy Windows 10 Home edition so that I could have the OS in English. I'm planning on buying a new laptop, chances are good it will have a single language version installed again. Do I have to purchase another Windows package to have the OS in English? Or is it possible to use the package I already bought?

    :)

    How to change the language on Windows 10 Home Single Language Edition.

    Hi all,

    I just bought a new laptop, in Colombia. I'm Dutch and I live and work this country. It is a Lenovo with Windows 10 Home. The standard language is set to Spanish. I assumed that it should be an easy thing to change the language to English. Apparently it's
    not, because I have the Windows 10 Home Single Language edition. I never heard of this edition and this is something you only learn after the purchase. I've tried many things the change the language , but so far I failed.

    To be honest I think it's a bit strange to be bound to one single language, and that it is not easy to change it. But anyway, is there any way (without buying Pro) to change the language after all? I decided to switch from the uncomplicated and easy-to-use
    Chromebook to Windows again, but so far I'm still using my Chromebook since my Spanish operating system language skills are terrible. Hence, I really hope someone can help me out.

    Thanks!

    Marcel
