You will need to upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate for this capability. Only Windows 7 Ultimate includes Multilingual User Interface (Language Pack) support. You can then install the English Language Pack from under Regional and Language settings in Control Panel.

You can do an Anytime Upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate which will preserve your personal files and settings:

    Hi Tarafdar

    I removed that link from your post. If you use the Vistalizator software, you will also lose the Activation and License for the installed Windows 7.

    See the following article for the details.

    2105247 Non-genuine warnings occur when Multilingual User Interface (MUI) packs are installed on incorrect editions of Windows 7

    Regards,

    Thank You for using Windows 7

    How to change system language of Windows 7 Home Premium from russian to english?

    I'd also wanna know how to change the language from Spanish to English.

    Thanks!

    The answer is the same to change the language from Spanish to English - you need Windows 7 Ultimate.

    Install complete language with a Language Pack (LP) - MUI

    Language Packs (or MUI - Multilingual User Interface) - Language packs provide a translated version of Windows dialog boxes, menu items, and help content. Switching to certain languages with a Language Pack, such as English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, and others, requires your computer to be running Windows 7 Ultimate. You can download any of the available language packs by using Windows Update. If you don't have Ultimate you can do an Anytime Upgrade to Ultimate.

    Type Anytime Upgrade in the Search programs and files box in the Start menu and click on the Windows Anytime Upgrade icon. From there, you can buy an Anytime Upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate. Then your can enter your Anytime Upgrade product key and perform a simple upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate so you can install a different language. All programs and files will stay on the computer.
