You cannot upgrade or convert from one language version of the an
OS to another, so you'll have to purchase and use the full version of
English WinXP to perform a clean installation.

Dear friends,
I have recently bought a laptop with German Windows XP Home Edition.
I would like change the language from German to English.
Is there any language patch / update available ?
Please guide me if some of you has done this already.

Best Regards
Kumaran
