Changing windows language to English

[The_Ogre]

A friend of mine bought a Windows 10 tablet for his wife while in Italy (work related).

They opened it only when he got home for the first time and when they powered it on the bloody thing was in Italian.

So I've been googling how to do it, but the *#&$^% menus and options on the tablet are all in Italian so its one hell of a mission to first go to google translate to get an idea of what it means.

Anybody know of some easier way to get it to default to English?

Horrible suspicion it's Win 10 Single Language, best of luck - https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-windows_install/difference-between-home-edition-and-home-single/7e567265-dabd-4336-b229-091e9234e8a5

Is there a hardware way to reset it to factory settings? If you can, the first boot thereafter may give you the set-up screens that let you pick language, time zone etc.

If she holds her hand like this, she won't need to change the language at all...

Offrirò loro R1000 per esso.

Settings (impostazioni) (cog icon) > Time & Language (small clock top left, A bottom left) > Second option (A and that other symbol on the right) > Select region from the drop-down. There's also an add language option.


I have this option on Windows 10 Home Single Language, but it's a laptop.

OK, I must admit I had a few beers in my tank when I fiddled with it, he left it at my house so I'll try your suggestion as soon as I get home and before I start filling my tank because its my daughter's birthday today

I'd start my own espresso company quickly at R1k/each and just outsource.

You need to use settings, not control panel with this method. You could try and use the search function in control panel, just type region.
