My PC was built for me in France (I live there) by a reputable English computer technician and has been running well for about four years. I recently bought recovery discs from HP France after a hard drive failure.
I have gone through the recovery process and changed the language from French to US English (only the two choices) on the language bar during the post-recovery procedure. I also changed the region and time zone choices to UK, but I noticed that the clock that was displayed did not change time.
After completion everything is still in French! I've gone to the region, time and language area in Control Panel and it is showing that the default language and keyboard format is UK English, but that, along with everything else, is in French! Why?
I am also a bit puzzled that, on completion, my desktop screen is showing an HP icon picture rather than the default Windows screen?
Many thanks to anyone who can help me solve these issues.
