However, it can happen that you have English for some reason or, worse, a Chinese version, but you want to translate it into Russian. There can be many reasons for this - a laptop with a preinstalled foreign language version from the Internet store, an operating system for an academic license (they do not provide copies in Russian), and much more.

Do you want to Russify Windows 7 Home Premium or another variation of this system - Professional? Then the procedure becomes a little more complicated. First you need to know the bit depth of the installed version and the availability of the service pack (for the first or 64 bit version, the language package is provided). To do this, press the Win + Pause Break buttons. The "General" tab opens, where all this information will be visually represented in the opened system properties window.
