    Actually I think you can change it back to english. But I guess you just have to find it by the icons.

    I think it should be in the start - control panel - regional and language settings and in there you should be able to change everything back to English.

    Actually, ask the store if the Windows they're loading is a regional copy or an international copy. Regional versions cannot have their language changed (though you can read and write other languages, items such as start remain localized). International versions cost more but you can change everything including start and other text.

    best thing you can do is just ask the store you're buying from yourself.
