Default Windows Vista

Hey everyone, I've got a question! I'm currently in Spain, and I bought a
copy of Windows Vista Home Premium, but I got it in Spanish, which is a
bummer, I mean, I understand it, but I would prefer it in English. Can I ask
a friend for his copy of Windows Vista and install it in English and still
have that same key? I guess my real question is, is the key VERSION
sensitive, as in, can I get a copy of the DVD in English and install it with
my Spanish license key? Thanks for your help!

Kent.

You can use windows update and get the langue you want. No need to get
another copy of windows.

Hei Kent.

Just run windows update.. you should see the list of langues. Select your
langue and install it.
After install, go to your controle panel and select langue settings. '

I did a little bit more research, and that option is only available for
windows vista ultimate and business. I can't do it on Home Premium. Any other
ideas? Can I do what I originally wanted to do? Spanish key - English version
of software, will it work?
