English language pack or re-install Win8.1 English?

I am about to receive an Inspiron 17 7000, but because of my location, it was only possible to buy a system with version 8.1 of Windows Pro in Dutch only. I want only one interface in English on the laptop, so I guess I have two choices

(1) get it operational and then install the English language pack. And never use the Dutch user interface yet ;-)

(2) complete re-install with Windows 8.1 Pro English. I have access to a license (I have a Microsoft MSDN subscription) so it's not a problem. But some time ago I did it and I just start reading on Secure Boot UEFI and so on. And more important still, I wonder if that mess up my warranty/maintenance somehow?

For simplicity, I'm tempted by the first option. But limitations or restrictions compared to the second?

Appreciate any suggestions?

DaveKaretnyk,

It would be much easier that you just install the English language pack.

    Click on the link and go to the following site. Download languages for Windows 7

    Read the description for language packs. Scroll to the language you want to install. If this language has a download link, then it's a LIP, it has a link to know more , so if a Language Pack.

    Windows 7 language packs are available for computers that are running Windows 7 ultimate or Windows 7 Enterprise

  • Windows 7 Pack LIP (Language Interface) can be installed on Windows 7 Starter Edition?

    Linguistic LIP Windows 7 for Hindi said "can be installed on all editions of Windows 7' http://bit.ly/2EFPcg - even on the Starter Edition?

    Yes, it will work on Windows 7 Starter:

    As was the case in Vista, Windows 7 will continue allowing a wide range of people around the world use Windows 7 in their own language by using the LIP language Packs. The lips are based on MUI technology and provide a localization of the user interface most commonly used by Windows users. The lips do not require a license and can be downloaded for free to be installed on any edition of Windows 7: Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium, professional, enterprise or ultimate.

    Because the entire user interface is not translated, lips require at least one parent language to be present on the machine to be installed. After that the LIP is installed and selected as the UI language, the parts of the UI that are not translated into the LIP language are displayed in the parent language. Some LIP languages allow more than one language as parent language. For example, the Catalan LIP can be installed if the Spanish language pack or the French language pack is already installed on the system. The parent language requirements are specified on the download page of each LIP.

    I just bought a new computer with Windows 7 Home Edition (Simplified Chinese). I want to install English language pack but can't find it anywhere. Please notify.

    Hello

    There are two types of language packs, MUI (multi-language User Interface) and the LIP (Language Interface Pack).

    The MUI 100% of the interface to another language and 80% of the most commonly used parts of the interface changed LIP.

    The MUI language packs can alter the 35 parent languages in another language of Parent. The MUI language packs are available only in Business Edition or ultimate edition of Windows 7. The LIP language packs can be installed on any edition of Windows 7. The MUI and LIP are freely available.

    The LIP language packs cannot change a parent to another parent language. These are only available for the languages located in countries where there is a large population that speaks a language different from the language related to this country. An example is the Spain where there is a LIP in the dialect of Basque language or Venetian.

    As simplified Chinese and English are the two languages of parent, you must upgrade to the Windows 7 Ultimate version to be able to change the language to English.

    I hope this helps.

    Thank you for using Windows 7

  • Windows language pack is not working/uninstall

    I downloaded the Arabic language pack. I tried several times to install, but once the installation is complete, it says "failed".

    I thought that the problem may be because the pack didn't upload correctly, so I removed all the files under C:\Windows\SoftwareDistributions\Download. After I did it, I found that the language pack is installed. When installing as the primary language, it only displays the layout from right to left, but however, most of the text is English.

    Try to uninstall does not show anything. I tried to uninstall several times without result.

    I have now, I wonder if I can uninstall it so I can download it again to try to install it again. Windows thinks it is installed properly, while this is not. Any solution other than system restore, because I installed many programs and do not restore all these.

    Thank you.
