    Did you add extra language packs?

    Looks like the ISO you want is 'Windows 10 Anniversary Update - Windows 10'. The en-gb system locale would suggest the 'English International' language is the one you want. The ISO will contain both Home and Pro.

    If you attempt an in-place repair install with an ISO for the wrong language it will tell you that you can't keep your installed apps, so cancel the upgrade and double-check what language you have currently installed.

    After the upgrade you may need to reinstall any other language packs you use.

    Thanks, Bree. I just wanted to confirm since his WINVER didn't match his SYSTEMINFO. He should be good to go, watching the details.

    Yes, looks like the Input locale has been set for Hungarian.

    So, can I do this method? Will I lose any data? If not, do I have to do anything else before I try this?

    P.S.: I am sorry, I don't know these kind of stuff yet...

    It's always a good idea to back up your files before an upgrade, you could also make a system image on an external HDD to restore the PC as it was before you started. In fact, it's a good idea to have a recent system image at all times. Macrium Reflect (free) is the method most here recommend, but Windows own 'Backup & Restore (Windows 7)' can also make a system image.

    Having said that, backups are just a sensible precaution. An in-place repair upgrade should keep all your data, documents and installed apps.

    @Bree Oh, one more thing: Is it possible for me to upgrade to Creators Build? Maybe that will fix the problem if I can.

    OK, so the problem is gone. I did the reset (HUGE thank you @Bree and @f14tomcat for help!), and right after that, it asked me to upgrade to Creators Update. Well, I did upgrade, but now my desktop is acting funky. I am thinking about a revert to 1607, if I won't find a fix to it.
