Reinstall Windows 11 to change the language

[spopravak]

Hi guys.

I purchased Pavilion x360 and setup the Windows 11 with German language. Turned out I am not that good in German, so I changed the language to English in Windows itself. But still some parts of OS are in German and all apps by default select German as installation language. 

Is there a way to reimage Windows 11 (home) to be fully on English, with all drivers and apps as with first install?

Much appreciate your help.

Hi, Sasa:

If your notebook came with W11 from HP, download the W11 ISO file from the link below (3rd option).

Download Windows 11 (microsoft.com)

After you select the first part, you will be given the option to select the product language and you can select either the English International version, or the English US version.

After the file has been downloaded, use the free Rufus utility to transfer the ISO file to a USB flash drive so that it is bootable.

Use the default settings for the program that you see on the website.

Rufus - Create bootable USB drives the easy way

After W10 has completed installing, you can install the drivers and available software from your notebook's support page.

Hey Paul.

Thanks for the tip. I actually reinstalled everything by rebooting into recovery mode (ESC+F11) and selected English as the language. Some HP apps are still in German, because this is where I am located, but I don't use them that often.

You're very welcome, Sasa.

Glad you found another way to install Windows in English.

Cheers,

Paul
