Hi! I am irish living in germany and am about to buy a notebook over here with windows xp installed. Does anyone know how easy it is to convert the os to english so I can fully understand it? Or do I have to pay for a new version of windows or an upgrade to be able to accomplish this? Thanks!

Nando,

You should buy the Laptop with the correct language version for your
requirements.
If you buy a native German version you will need to buy a full English
retail copy and completely reinstall your laptop.
Also note your laptop will come with a German keyboard. This may also cause
you problems later if you switch to a full English copy of Windows XP.

Thanks for your reply!

When you say 'problems', would it be as simple as just having the wrong
key labels on the keys? Or would the problem be more serious? Thanks!


Wrong key labels.
