Hi,
You'd have to upgrade it to Ultimate in Greek, then download and install the english language pack. You'd be subsuming the oem license into the retail one. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "ALEXIOS GOUTSOULAS" wrote in message ...

Yes. Unless you go with a full Retail of English not an Upgrade and do a full clean reformat and install

Hi,
Correct, you can't upgrade to a different language. Upgrading is/must be done in the same language. Once you have Ultimate installed, you will be eligible to install a language pack of choice. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "ALEXIOS GOUTSOULAS" wrote in message ... so you mean that I cant upgrade it directly to English? but first upgrade to Greek and then to install the language file?
