Help with Chinese Language Pack, Windows 7 HP SP1

Hi, i'm using Windows 7 home premium SP1. I can't seem to install any language packs, especially chinese, which is pretty important to me, in the windows update page. Any tips on how to go about? Thanks!

Yes, you will need to upgrade/download Windows 7 ultimate to get language packs. Home Premium only comes with 1 language pack. You can get Home Pre. in English or Chinese when you purchase it, but you can't change it later.

Oh dear, so there's no way i can download the chinese pack then? Hate seeing all sorts of boxes.

If I am not mistaken, Windows 8 has all language packs built in, both the Standard and Pro versions. Only Windows 7 Enterprise and Ultimate have the additional language packs. Considering that you can upgrade for much cheaper up to Windows 8, rather than Win 7 Ultimate, I would upgrade to Windows 8. You can then get your 中文 pack without a problem.
