Windows XP Home - Chinese Edition

[Soros Gecko]

Hi All,

I have seen this notebook with a preinstalled Windows XP Home - Chinese
Edition.
I wanted an English version. On querying one shop said if I use the
reinstall disc I can choose English interface.
However another store replied, based on the same query, that it was not
possible.

Any feedback would be welcomed.
Regards
Soros

One cannot change from one language version of Windows to
another language version. You'll need to purchase a "full version"
of Windows XP in your desired language version and then perform
a "clean install".

Cannot Upgrade or Install a Different Language Version of Windows XP
