    Hi, I am Van. I'll be glad to assist you today.

    Yes, you will be able to add and change your display language. However, adding a new language will not completely change the language on the system. Some parts will still display the language that the system originally had.

    If you need to set the whole system language, I recommend that you clean install Windows 11 Home and select your preferred language during the installation setup.

    Note: Make sure to back up your important files from your main Windows drive to another drive or external hard drive before you reinstall the operating system. Because reinstalling Windows will delete everything on the main Windows drive.

    Please let me know if you need any further assistance. I will be glad to assist.

    Hello, I don`t know if I will get an answer back from you but whatever. I will buy a windows 11 pro key, so if I activate in my laptop, it will change most of the system display language, or I am wrong?

    Btw, it the same if I buy a windows 11 pro key and a windows 11 home upgrade to pro? (Idk but the price of the windows 11 pro key was cheap, and I couldn`t find any upgrade keys)

    Well, then, where can I get a Windows 11 home key?

    You can purchase Windows 11 directly from Microsoft or through another trusted retail store in your area.

    After that I am supposed to do a clean installation, but my computer had installed some programs. I believe that I will have to install manually or can I do something else to prevent it.

    Unfortunately, you will need to manually install your apps after you reinstall Windows.

    Otherwise, if I put another Windows 11 home key and add another language, will most of the computer will be changed to that language or there will be parts of the system that cannot be changed in language and will remain in Mandarin?

    Some parts will remain in Mandarin.

    And, if I buy a normal windows 11 key will it work, or is it better to buy a windows 11 pro key? (I don't need the extra functions of windows 11 pro; I only want to change the display language.)

    The Windows Home edition has the basic functionality of the Pro edition. If you only need the system for personal use, I prefer using the Home edition, which is cheaper than the Pro edition.
