activating a foreign language Windows 10

Hi,

This might be redundant question, but i figured i'd ask anyway to be sure and save me the time. So i just bought a Windows 10 Pro key here in Taiwan. I received the download link for the Windows install files to create a bootable USB. However, giving i live in Taiwan, that setup is in traditional Chinese. While i can read that, I want to install Windows in English anyway, because i might not fully understand the partitioning interface etc.

So my question is, can I use Microsofts media creation tool to create a bootable USB device with the English version of Windows 10 Pro 64b and use that CD key to active it? In other words, is that key bound to that language version or does that key active any language version of Windows 10 Pro?

Thanks!

As long as your key is legitimate, you can usually use the key with any version. If you have issues though, you can download and install the english language pack and set your UI to be english.

alright, thanks for confirming!

Edit: Just for good measure, i will add it in here . It activated just fine on any language version of the same Windows version
