Yes, unless you want Spanish / Espanol which is a second language in the USA. Microsoft does not support it for Home. I bought a computer for a friend who is originally from Colombia and is now a U.S. Citizen. I wanted to give it to her so she can learn English but still have Spanish for now. I was on the phone for over one hour with Microsoft and they finally conceded I would have to re-install Windows 7 Home Premium in Spanish to get Spanish. This is really stupid on Microsoft’s part. one-third of the USA speaks Spanish.
generally, Windows 7 home or pro Spanish, come with Engish language added. To verify this you would have to run regedit and go to the following path.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCURRENTCONTROLSETCONTROLMUIUILANGUAGES
in the you should have two folders en-US and es-ES which is your default language. to change the language to English, right click on es-ES export the file, this will back up that reg key. then delete es-ES. after deleting the key
run command prompt as an administrator and run the following command.
c:windowssystem32bcdboot %WinDir% /l en-US.
restart the pc, and you will have win7 in English language.

sorry mistyped
c:windowssystem32>bcdboot %WinDir% /l en-US
Okay what if you don’t see another folder for en-US does that mean you have to use the Vistalizator work around or is there a way to add that registry
PERFECT Hugo!!! Works Great! Thank you!!!
