How Do I Change My System Locale?

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I would require some more information to assist you better.

1. What was the base language of the previous operating system?

Since you had kept the system locale as English before the upgrade you might now not be able to change the locale now in Windows 10. You have to install Japanese language pack and then you would be able to change the system locale.

I would suggest you to refer to the article provided by Andre De costa:

Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If issue persists, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.

Thank you.

I recently got a new laptop and the default language that I set it to is English. The laptop, a Dell Inspiron 15 5000 Series, came with Windows 10 already installed. Thank you for responding, but I hadn't seen it until now.
