    French or English version?

    Hi, I wonder if you can help me. I live in France and so far I’ve had the French language version of Win7 which I need for the ISP I use (Orange). I’m thinking about getting a new PC which would come with win10. I’ve seen both French and English versions offerred but I thought the language can be changed anyway, even with the famoly version, so would it make any difference?

    Thanks for any advice.

    Hello

    Why not just leave it in French!

      Windows 10 will convert globally (display and input) between English and French.

      Your choice of which version to purchase should be determined by which language you intend to use, thus saving you a conversion step - which is point and click easy, but will involve a sizable download if you toggle between languages.

      MS info:
      Manage the language and keyboard/input layout settings in Windows - Microsoft Support

          I still find English easier.
