My brother in Mexico wants to get the Spanish version of
XP. I brought him a laptop with XP on it, but now I need
to determine if I need to purchase a new version or just
make some modifications to the version he has on his
laptop. On the Microsoft website it indicates the
language is supported under XP. How do I get what I
need? Thank you.
 
Windows XP is written in specific language versions, therefore one
cannot change it from one language version to another. You'll need
to purchase a "Full Version" of Windows XP in the language version
you desire, reformat your drive and install it "clean".

Or if you have an available empty drive or partition, you can install
another "Full Version" of Windows XP in a different language version
and create a dual-boot configuration.
