Change system language
Hi,
When setting up my new laptop, the first action was to select the system language. I mistakenly picked French. I now need to change this back to English. I tried doing a factory restore, but when I do that, it does not prompt me to select a system language again. I only get regional settings which do not change the system (display) language.
Could you please help me to put the system back in English?
Thank you.

Hi Robin,
Thanks for your answer, but it's not the keyboard/input language that I need to change. It's the display language.
Thanks.

I can select the proper regiion and language, that's not the problem. It's the system language I need to change.
The very frst time you turn on the computer (after unboxing it) you have to configure Windows. The very first question asked is: select system language (English or French). I mistakenly picked French. After that, it asks to select region and keyboard language.
When I do a factory restore, it doesn't ask me to select system language anymore. It goes straight to the region and keyboard language selection page. It says: "Configurer Windows 7 Professionnel". I need to go to the previous page where I can select the system language to English so that in the next page it asks:"Configure Windows 7 Professional". Like it did on my other laptop.
Thanks.
