Windows Vista upgrade to Windows 7 - language issue

[Franz Verga]

Hi all,

I have a laptop bought in 2007 with Vista Home Premium version OEM in
Italian.

Now I live in Berlin and I saw in a shopfron a big chain theWindow 7 Home
Premium Upgrade for only 89 €, instead of 129 €.

But my worry is the following: with this upgrade, I will be able to chose
the language, in order to have the OS in Italian, or it will be only in
German?

--

Thanks a lot in advance for your help.


Ciao

You cannot change languages during an upgrade - whatever language you have
now must be the language you upgrade to. If the package does not say it
supports the language you want, then do not buy it as it will probably not
work.

You are lucky you worried and asked before buying it. It will be
German.
