How To - Change Language on Windows
Users may experience a different language or character set due to a previous user who changed the language setting.
To change the system default language, close your apps, and use these steps:
- Open Settings.
- Click on Time & Language.
- Click on Language.
- Under the "Preferred languages" section, click the Add a language button.

- Search for the new language using the language or country name.
- Select the package from the result.

- Click the Next button.
- Check the Install language pack option.
- Check the Set as my Windows display language option.

- Check the additional features as needed — for example, "Text-to-speech" and "Handwriting."
- Click the Install button.
- Click the Yes, sign out now button.
- Sign back into the account.
After you complete the steps, the Windows 10 language will change across the experience, including the Sign-in screen, Settings app, File Explorer, Desktop, apps, browser, and websites you visit.
