| | Vista Home Premium Language Change Hello, I have recently purchased a PC in Germany (where I live). Unfortunately, my German is terrible and I am having a hard time translating all the messages. I owuld like to change the Language to English. I have read that unless you have Vista ultimate or Enterprise, I am out of luck unless I buy an upgrade for another 200 Euros! The free Language packs available do not offer Enlgish. But I have also read that when you first install the OS (when I first turned on my new PC), I should have the option to select the language. Does anyone know if this is true? Nonetheless, I did not get any DVDs or CDs with the PC. However, I have created the recovery CDs. Does anyone know if I do a recovery if it will allow me to change the language? Thanks. |
