Hi all, this is my situation: I'm a UK student, I have a pc with XP Home on
it, and I'm going to Germany for a year's study there. I want a laptop, and
they look mightily cheaper over there *But* I don't think I could live
with a laptop that's exclusively in German. Ideally I want something where I
can switch between as I please.
First question: Is this easy to do? Having read around, it sounds like no,
given MUI seems to be only available to big companies =/
Second question: Would my current licence cover installing XP on a
yet-to-be-purchased laptop? (I'm thinking of the eventuality that I can't
have both languages and choose to install English over the top and make do
with that.)
I did read somewhere a brief comment that you can do something along the
lines of install one copy of Windows over another and thus be able to use
either language(!) I can't picture this in my mind, but does anyone know
about this?
Many thanks in advance for any help.
