Language Problem...

Windows Vista14
Recently, (Christmas), a relative of mine offered me a laptop with vista home

primium, now... my problem is, this laptop was bought in germany, and I don't

understand a single german word, since the instalation is OEM, I can't even

get a windows from the language I want and use a genuine key, so what I want

to know, is if microsoft has a way to solve problems such has this... I know

that language packs don't work in home premium, so I'm left with no

solution...

Is there possibly any area where I can actually grab a version of vista home

premium where my OEM key might work!?

PS: windows is fully german... I just wanna change it to english...

Thks in advance

Re:Language Problem...

Unfortunately, there is no solution to your problem. Unless the laptop

manufacturer will offer you a copy of Windows in English, there is no

version of Vista available elsewhere that will take your OEM key and let you

use it.
