My friend gave me a secondhand laptop. The display language is in Dutch and I don't speak Dutch, so everytime I am using this laptop I have to open Google Translate, and it is so tiring alt-tabbing just to understand a single sentence.

OBVIOUSLY, I REALLY want to change the display language to English. BUT the Windows 7 version installed here is Home Premium, which doesn't support MLI - which is available on Enterprise and Ultimate only. Fortunately, there is this Windows Anytime Upgrade, and I used that feature. But I didn't PURCHASE a key instead I browse for a free one. And it kind of works because when I checked on the System Information, under Windows Edition, it now says Windows 7 Ultimate/Copyright/SP1.

So my NEXT step is where I am now stuck. I cannot find the Optional Updates option. I already checked the View Update History and shows Windows Update-Agent 7.6.7600.320 as the recent update which was 10 days ago and after that was updates from 2014. Also checked the Restore Hidden Updates but nothing was in there. Also the Change Settings, I already checked the Recommended Updates. Nothing. Please help me. You are using an illegal key, we will not assist with it.

That said, your home premium key is not tied to Dutch as far as I'm aware. It just means that you can't change the language on the fly with home premium. You should however be able to reinstall Windows 7 home premium using the key in the machine and pick the correct language during the installation process.Topic CLOSED.
