Problem with setting English language

XXX
Hello Ix107,
Many thanks for your reply. I regret the delay in responding, but I had some rather urgent matters to attend to and have not opened my PC for 3 days!
I used your 1st suggestion and - after translating into Spanish, - I have found it to be OK - at the moment! If I have any further problems I shall return for more advice.
My thanks also to 'dalchina' and I agree with you, and I have no use really for the Cortana. I used the 'search' in W7 to search the PC for programmes and suchlike, but I shall use other methods with this W10 "beast"which I hope will suffice!

(Forgive the addition of the "Quote" but I couldn't find a way to simply reply so I used the 'reply with quote button!)

Thanks to you both for your replies.

Regards,
.

 

Win10 – Language change Arabic to English

I just bought a 2nd hand laptop by occasion and it has only one problem: the Windows 10 was installed in Arabic language and I need it in English. I do not read/speak Arabic language.
I looked over many YouTube videos in Arabic and English language about how to change the language in Win10. Unfortunately my screens that I see in Arabic language do not match the screens seen in Arabic on YouTube videos/tutorials, so I cannot do a blind click-click and by chance to change it into English.
I can make print screens and then put them in USB stick and upload them here on EE from another PC – that I figure it out.
I do not want to reinstall Win10 from scratch, but of course that is the last option.
Below are the first steps which leaded me to, I hope, Language and Regional Settings in Win10, but where to click further and what to choose?
I really need your guidance in step by step with pictures where shall I click in order to install the English language.
A tutorial in English does not help. I need a tutorial (step by step) in Arabic with pictures.
