Vista - change language

Hi,
I bought a new computer in Germany. It is delivered with Windows Vista Home
Premium in German. I 'd rather like an English version of Windows Vista. If I
buy an upgrade to WV Ultimate in English, would that do the thick? Are there
any other possibility to swich my Windows system to English?
Thank for any suggestion.

Hi,

No, an upgrade is insufficient, you need to do a clean install of a full
English version.
