    Options for new language in W7HP


    Hi All,

    I recently bought an Acer laptop with German W7 Home Premium. I was told that I could upgrade to W8 Pro and select English, however W8 has too many problems like not shutting down properly and poorly functioning USB.

    I have temporarily reinstalled the German W7HP, but I need English.

    I realise that W7HP cannot accept additional language packs.

    What is the best solution please?

    Should I buy a new W7HP in English? Or can I upgrade from German W7HP to English W7HP?

    Or should I upgrade from German W7HP to W7Ultimate and instal English LP?

    Any help/advice/suggestions much appreciated

    Thanks.

    LW.

    Windows 7 Home Premium: Amazon.com: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium: Software

    Windows 7 anytime upgrade Home Premium to Ultimate: Amazon.com: Microsoft Windows 7 Anytime Upgrade [Home Premium to Ultimate] (Old Version): Software

    Price is almost same, second option should be better (anytime upgrade key).

    Now it's your choice.

    I guess it will have to be the upgrade to Ultimate.
