Question

I have a laptop which came from Japan. How can I convert it to english? Is there any software I can download?

Answer 1

If the bios and every part is in Japan, you could check the manufacturers web site to see if their is a bios update in english available for that system. If its just windows...reinstall an english version of windows. If not patch is available you can always reinstall an english windows, and at least your os will be in english...only the Bios and System startup will be in Japanese.

Answer 2

You can use it normally with software, but if you want all English Windows, you'll need to buy a copy of Windows that's in English. When you do this, make sure you tell it that you have a Japanese keyboard, otherwise some characters won't match what's on your keyboard. You could just tell that you're using a standard US keyboard if you're familiar with the locations of all keys.

Answer 3
