View 5 RepliesSo my laptop was purchased in China which came with authentic windows 8.1. I recently upgraded to windows 10 through official pop up notification. However after trying all means I couldn't alter the display language.In the settings-region and language-language-add a language/I am able to add any language in here but when I click options in one of the added language, there's no option of "download language pack" as many tutorials on internet.I have tried under English (United Kingdom) "set language as primary" but after restart, nothing's changed . Still display Chinese.
In control panel-add a language-options-windows display language/Again there's no option of setting a new language as display language, it says under windows display language "not available in this version of Windows" (something like this, I did the translation).I can add or change input keyboard without problem.The version of windows currently in my laptop is "Windows 10 Home Chinese Version" (something like this, again I did the translation). Is this the reason I can't change display language?
As you can see on screen, I changed language from German to Slovak ,but not all text have changed.

How do I change to the right language?
I bought a new laptop here in japan
But Cant change my language to english
Also cant download language pack
For some reason my computer installed windows 10 in Korean. Luckily I can understand a bit of Korean but I have tried changing all the location and language and keyboard settings back to english but everything still remains in Korean. It even says the main language is Korean. My usb that allows me to connect to the internet isn't working with windows 10 atm so I haven't got internet on my pc. I've tried all the settings on my pc and changed everything possible back to English but all remains in Korean. Not sure if I'm missing anything but it just wont work.
I tried making English the default language to use when going Settings -> Language and Time -> changing English to be my default. I also went into system locale and changed it to English but nothing. I tried restartng and signing out of my account and my pc several times. It shows Korean on the start screen too.

View 1 RepliesI was wondering how you change the language in the start up? Like when the computer is shutting down/turning on, when you wake it up from sleep and enter a PIN, etc.
When I was picking the language in the initial start up, I accidentally chose French because the touchpad was really grippy. I've changed the language back to English for when I'm actually using the computer, but the start up and lock screens are still in French.
is there anyway to get a language pack for windows 10 to change the language back to English? I was able to manually download a language pack but I wasn't able to install it through CMD. I haven't bought the Windows 10 pro to change it for me, but was wondering if I am able to change it manually on the current version of Win 10
View 5 RepliesWhen I change the input language, it is changed for the whole system, i.e. all apps, Office, browsers, etc. In Windows 7 it used to change only for the specific app which is active on the display, i.e. the language for the rest remained the same. Is there a way for Windows 10 to behave like Windows 7 in this respect?
View 2 RepliesSo changing the system language should be as easy as settings>region&language>Download the preferred language
Now:
In doing so, my system did change from Russian to English, although not properly. Most objects are English as you'd expect after the change, but some system elements are still Russian. For example, grayed out text in textboxes (The explanation of what you should type) is still Russian. Also, the date & time on the lock screen is still Russian. Also, the "windows is waiting for apps to close" when shutting down, is Russian, both text and buttons. Is this a windows10 flaw?
my laptop was delivered in my native language, Dutch.However, I always work in English and prefer that the Display language is also English.My start Menu says " instellingen" and not " Setteings".I followed the instructions added a language in the settings menu Region & Language set the language as defailt, logged out and logged in..Nothing changed Restarting has no result also.Might it be that HOME versions don't have the Change Dipslay Language option?

View 1 RepliesInstalled a chinese application earlier called Kuwo Music Player. I have been using this particular application for quite some time and today is the first occasion where I decided to give it a go on Windows 10 too. Then came the problem, I realised that the settings to change the system locale ( this is necessary otherwise the chinese characters cannot be displayed) is no longer where it was in Windows 7/8. I too couldn't find any useful results on the Internet. where I can find and change that setting, or any other working solution would do.

View 1 RepliesI'm using an english windows 10 with hungarian keyboard. Not even complicated, right? My location is set to Slovakia and my problem is that the date on my lock screen is in slovak and if I install anything with "use my default language" language option it's installed in slovak. My question is: Is there any way to change the default language without changing my location?

I downloaded the Win10 Home single language ISO for a clean install on a new build PC and skipped the activation step during install. Now I need to activate. If I purchase a copy of Windows 10 Home in store or digitally, will I be able to use the product key in my current install without need to re-install?
View 7 RepliesI have a problem with a new Dell XPS 13 I bought in China. It apparently does not allow language packs, and I have a really hard time understanding most of the words. I tried returning the laptop and buying back in the USA, but the store didn't accept returns. Now I'm stuck with a basically useless computer that I bought for no reason and I need to install English onto the computer. Any ways I can do this?

I know that in this case I need also to know what is the primary display or how to get only the primary display value because I want to get the value that set only for the primary display..The key "LogPixels" in HKEY_CURRENT_USERControl PanelDesktop Is no longer relevant for me in Windows 10.
is there any way to use SSD as cache to speed up primary HDD with Win10? I happen to have a 24GB Intel 313 drive I'm using for linux but I was wondering if I could use it to quicken my Windows...
View 2 RepliesToday, I tried to remove my old windows 7 (installed in drive D), dual booted with window 10.
However, I couldn't remove it because it was a System, Active, and Primary Partition.
And my Default Windows 10 drive C was Boot, Page file, Crash Dump, and Logical Drive (as shown in the picture)
Noticed this #2 partition, (128MB), on my lappy, is it serving any purpose? Best way to include it in the C: partition
View 9 RepliesI currently I have W8.1 which is running on a HDD. For Windows 10, I am upgrading to a SSD for my OS, some programs, etc. Thing is, I want to keep my HDD for a storage drive. It has many pictures, videos, songs, etc that I want to keep. Problem is, it is currently loaded with Windows 8.1 and some programs that I would also put on the SSD. How do I just get rid of Windows from it to make it my storage drive? Do I need to? Should I just get a second HDD entirely and find a way to move my pictures, video, songs, etc to it?
