    Open the Settings App.

    Go to System - About.

    On that window, in the Windows Info section, what edition of Windows is installed, is it Windows Home, Pro or Home Single Language?

    If that is indicated as Windows Home Single Language, then the only working method to change the Windows UI language is to backup your files, create a bootable Windows 11 USB and use that to clean install Windows in your preferred language.

    If Windows shows Only one language pack allowed or Your Windows license supports only one display language, the laptop is using Windows 11 Home Single Language. On that edition, additional display languages cannot be installed.

    To confirm:

    1. Select Start > Settings > System > About.
    2. Check Edition under Windows specifications.
    3. If it says Windows 11 Home Single Language, changing the Windows display language from Spanish to English is not supported on that edition.

    If the device is not Single Language, change the display language like this:

    1. Open Start > Settings.
    2. Go to Time & language > Language & region.
    3. Select English in Windows display language.
    4. Sign out when prompted, then sign back in.

    If English is not available in the Windows display language list, the language pack must be installed first. After installation, sign out and sign back in for the change to apply.

    Also note: changing the Windows display language can also change the keyboard layout. At sign-in, use the input language icon if the keyboard layout is different.
