Unfortunately, on my PC was pre installed Windows 10 Single Language (BR Portuguese) and I can't
change the "display language" from BR-PT to US English because don't have any options; for that
obvious reason, indeed. So, please: how can I install a new "display language" onto Windows 10 Single
Language version?

1 The removing of the package takes very long, but it works. – erik Nov 24, 2015 at 16:40

3 Warning: I got MUI_NO_VALID_SYSTEM_LANGUAGE error after reboot, and was unable to restore to a recovery
point. Factory reset (which erased everything) worked though. I'm using 1607 build 14393. – sqd May 12, 2017 at

3 any link for 1903 ? – Damien Dec 2, 2019 at 7:02

8 Go to uupdump.ml and search for your windows build version (1903). Look for "Cumulative Updates" of your
windows version. In "Search Files", enter "languagepack". You will get *.esd files. Click on "Generate Renaming
Script". Then download desired *.esd file/files. Keep them under same folder. Rename and run the script. Get *.cab
using github.com/abbodi1406/WHD/blob/master/scripts/… Further info - ntlite.com/community/index.php?
threads/… – Mark Mar 9, 2020 at 6:46

2 @Mark 's solution worked in my case (build version 1909). follow the instructions in the readme file inside the tool
from Github: link it converts simple ESD files to CAB files and vice versa, after that edit the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\Language default keys as mentioned in tatoline's
answer. thanks to you all! – Vacit A. May 3, 2020 at 1:18

You can download language pack and use "Install or Uninstall display languages" wizard. To do this:

8 Press Win+R , paste lpksetup and press Enter

Wizard will appear on the screen

Click the Install display languages button

In the next page of the wizard, click Browse and pick the *.cab file of the MUI language you

4 With Windows 10 Single Language Home I get a warning message when selecting the .cab file saying Windows
cannot install additional language packs. See Note in technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/… – carraua Jan 6, 2016

Actually, it looks like you may be able to download language packs directly through Windows Update.
Open the old Control Panel by pressing WinKey+X and clicking Control Panel. Then go to Clock,
5 Language, and Region > Add a language. Add the desired language. Then under the language it should
say "Windows display language: Available". Click "Options" and then "Download and install language
pack."

I'm not sure why this functionality appears to be less accessible than it was in Windows 8.

1 Unavailable in Windows 10. At least not in my build (14393). – Shimmy Weitzhandler Jan 16, 2017 at 23:40

1) Upgrade using windows update or using "media creation tool" http://windows.microsoft.com/en-

us/windows-10/media-creation-tool-install
3
if you are using "media creation tool" select "Upgrade this PC now"

When Windows 10 installed check that it is activated.

2) Now as you have activated Windows 10 using "media creation tool"

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/media-creation-tool-install select second option
"Create installation media for another PC" here you can select Windows version and its language. Make
sure that Windows version is also "Single Language"

3) Boot from you device, USB in my case and install clean Windows in English or any other language
you selected.
