Guest Ozulus Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 Sorry if this has been asked before. I have a Portuguese version of windows xp home that came installed on my laptop for the past 2 years. I really hate the translation of it, a lot of times things are really poorly translated or just apear in brazilian which is even worse. I don't know if I can use a Windows Home English CD from a friend and install it on this pc and use this pc serial, dunno if it's language locked, I hope not. I really just want to have it in english.
Guest John Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 RE: localized version Have you thought about Multi lingual user interface (MUI) you can get these cds from Microsoft (dont know if you pay) but there you can instal the english language, instead of getting an english Windows XP cd -- JohnD76 "Ozulus" wrote: > Sorry if this has been asked before.
