    Upgrade of windows 10 single language

    Hello!

    I have a question. At this moment my laptop has Windows 10 Home Single Language Edition installed. That's the problem for me, because i can't change system language to English. It's important for me, because when the file system appears in my native language
    some problems occurs, such as encoding troubles while working with file system etc. So the only thing i want to do is just to upgrade my Windows 10 Home Single Language Edition to Windows 10 Home. I don't need an upgrade up to Windows 10 Pro, just Windows
    10 Home with ability to change system language as i want. Is it possible? I haven't found any solution, all i get is suggestions to upgrade to Pro version.

    Thank you in advance for your response!
