Question: I have a new computer with "Germany" Windows
Home XP installed on it and wish to have "English" Home
XP Windows. Will I need to purchase the English XP
Upgrade of the full installation version?
 
One cannot upgrade from one language version of Windows to
another language version. You'll need to purchase a "full version"
of Windows XP English and then perform a "clean install".
