ドイツ語版の Windows 7 Professional がプリインストールされたラップトップを購入しました。
同じライセンス キーを使用して、英語版の OS を再インストールすることは可能ですか? 翻訳途中のバージョンは使いたくないので、コンピューターに他のものをインストールする前に再インストールするのが最も簡単な方法だと思いました。
ライセンス キーは言語固有ですか?
答え1
いいえ、言語に依存せず、インストール時に言語を選択できます。
答え2
You can choose your language, that's not a problem. But the key is aimed to work with a localized installation disc. I mean, your serial is for a specific version (Pro/Home/etc.) and a "country".
My french "Windows XP édition familiale" key can't work with the english "Windows XP Home edition" CD, although I can use the english language.
edit : as @omnibrain mentioned, it might be possible to install Win7 with an "english" DVD and a "german" key (he did). Consider my contribution as a warning and enlightenment :)
答え3
You should be able to download the English language pack via Windows Updates.
Edit: No you can't in Professional edition. Only in Windows Enterprise and Ultimate editions.
