ceez Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Hello everyone, I have a friend who purchased a netbook and during the oobe setup he selected Italian....cause well....he's Italian. Now everything is in Italian and his wife who doesnt speak the language cant use the netbook.I know that you need Ultimate (or Pro) to change the language settings by downloading the language packs, but is there a way of reverting the oobe option? The only option I can think of is to sysprep it and select English when it comes back up, but I am not sure if that would actually work.Any thoughts?Thanks,Ceez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone else posted that it messed up with their Windows activation and would make your version of Windows NOT GENUINE.Is this the same app? Is such thing possible? I dont want to mess up his legal version of Win7 Starter that came with his netbook.Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ceez Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share Posted September 5, 2011 @jinkazama, thanks for the reasurance. I'll try it out on a vm to see how it works out and then maybe send it their way.@jaclaz, that would be a good way to solve the issue.....learn a new language! I might just save that link for myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
