Windows 10: Windows 10 Single Language Upgrade to Windows Home

I purchased a desktop computer in Russia and recently discovered that I can't change the display language to English. The only available option I've found so far is to fork out a ridiculous sum of cash for Windows Pro for a bunch of features I don't need.


What other options are there for simply being able to change the interface language to English?

Windows 10 upgrade problem, no input accepted

I really hate having to come here and ask for help, but I really am stumped. It hurts my geek pride. I have a PC with fairly modern hardware in it. It has a p8p67 pro in it. I have tried upgrading windows 10 on it twice now. Both times I have had the same result.

After windows finishes upgrading it goes to the log in/set up screen. I can't do anything. No keyboard or mouse input is accepted.

I will list some, or hopefully all, of the troubleshooting steps I have tried:

• Move keyboard and mouse to different USB ports.
• Try different keyboard or mouse.
• Restart computer, repeatedly.
• Google for related issues.
• Update Bios, because why not.
• Create boot media and revert to windows 7.

The windows 10 system restore boot media works fine with keyboard and mouse. All USB ports work in windows 7. I don't know what is wrong. I suspect that windows 10 is lacking a driver of some sort, but since the computer accepts no input I have no way of checking for which driver let alone installing it.

Please help me figure this out. If I have to revert back to windows 7 again, I am not going to get it upgraded to windows 10. Thank you in advanced.

 

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!
