Installing Windows Vista in English from Windows Vista French CD?

Hi,

I am in France. I am planning to buy a ACER desktop from an online vendor.
It will come with a Windows Vista French edition pre-installed and they will
give me the French Windows Vista CD.

Can I later install the Windows Vista in English from this French Windows
Vista CD?

Only if your version of Vista is Ultimate. If so, you can install a
language pack. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925471 .

There is an unofficial way. See
http://www.ghacks.net/2008/05/12/cha...windows-vista/.

You would be best advised to buy an English desktop from a UK vendor if
you want to use English as your working language.

Re: Installing Windows Vista in English from Windows Vista French

Dear Sir,

Thank you for the response. It could be of great help. But I only prefer
using the authentic way. But your suggestion is really appreciated and I am
sure it would be of help to many other people.
