Hi,

I bought a PC in France and didn't realise that it has French windows until
I came back home. I need to change the windows to English windows. Can
someone advise how I can do that?

Regards
 
Hi

You can't change the Language of XP. You will need to purchase an English
Retail XP CD. You can then either install the English version instead of
the French version, or dual boot Languages.

You cannot upgrade or convert from one language version of the OS
to another, so you'll have to purchase and use the full version of
WinXP (in whatever language you want) to perform a clean installation.
