I have been given a laptop which has windows xp home
edition loaded on it but the language is German. Can I
change the language in windows (if so how)or do I have to
purchase an English version of xp?
 
Hi

You can't change the Language. You will have to purchase an English Retail
version of XP.

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
English WinXP to perform a clean installation.
