Initially I'v installed Windows 10 Pro in my native Russian language. Now I decide to full switch on English. I do lots things in regedit, settings and cmd. 99% is ready but I still have Russian when i get on System Restore / System Recovery / Cmd from Safe Mode (where actually main section is in English). How to change it fully?

    After few weeks of trying i finally found solution.

    In short - change language in bcdedit / windows / settings / sysprep /  regedit and etc. won't work.

    You just need to replace your current winre.wim file to the one from Windows that have language that you prefer. 

    I did it simply, download Windows 10 Pro Eng ISO and extract it. Then mount /sources/install.esd file and it creates install .wim - here you go to /Windows/System32/Recovery and cut the winre.wim file and move it to your system. 

    Well, it's almost done. Run cmd by admin and use command:

    reagentc /setreimage /path C:\windows\system32\recovery

    After that one more:

    reagentc /enable

    Here it is. After that i restart my laptop and go to RE in Safe Mode and it become totally on English.

    Thank's, but is there any way to completely change language without reinstalling Windows?

    I haven't switched languages ever, but the forum experience says changing the language doesn't change language System-wide. Consider doing a clean install of English US if you want to change fully.
