Permanently changing default language to English UK

If you want to use US English input language in Windows but UK English as proofing language in Word, you are where you started: you need to manually change proofing language.

If you want your new documents automatically use UK English as proofing language, you need to use UK English input language and learn its differences compared to US English (click screenshots to enlarge):

Screenshots above from a laptop keyboard as the Fn key reveals. As the Fn key is not used in typing but instead only for various settings (brightness, contrast, volume, backlight etc.) the letters, numbers and special characters can be found exactly in same places as shown in the screenshots, regardless if you use a laptop built-in keyboard or a full size external keyboard.

Sir,

I am totally confused.

You mentioned:

“Create a system restore point or better still use Macrium Reflect to create a back up image” – I said I have no idea what this means, but you offered no explanation.

But in my post #6 I said:

Read this for System Restore:
System Restore Point - Create
and this for Macrium Reflect:
Macrium Reflect FREE Edition - Information and download

When you are ready if you have any questions on either subject post them here on the Forum.

If you click on these links and read the contents you will fully understand what is meant by System Restore and Back up. These two links explain this much better than I can so it seemed the best option. Back up is a very important part of your general PC maintenance, or should be! It gives you the confidence to try different approaches knowing that if things go wrong you can very easily get your PC back to a good state. I really don't think I can explain it any better for you.
