What you are seeing, all are in Korean or any other foreign language? I am here to share my own experience. It may help you out.</p>
<p>As I was working for a South Korean conglomerate, I had access to Windows 7 Enterprise K. So, I have to face a lot of trouble to make the conversion to English. As, there is no Microsoft’s official help available, I have to find it myself. It would be great if I can share this with proper screen-shots of Korean Windows. But as I had already converted, I could not. Sorry about that.</p>
<p>First of all, it will be best if you can install Windows 7 English version directly.<br>
If not possible at all, like your company have license only to use Korean version, or you purchased your laptop or <span class="caps">PC</span> in Korea. In those cases this post may help. </p>
<p><strong>I am assuming that:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>You have a valid license key or <span class="caps">OEM</span> <span class="caps">VLK</span>(Volume License Key) of Windows 7, either for Enterprise or for Ultimate edition. </li>
<li>If you don’t have Enterprise or Ultimate edition, but you have Home or Professional addition, the following method probably won’t work. </li>
</ul>
<h2 id="steps">Steps:<a class="headerlink" href="#steps" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h2>
<ul>
<li>Install <strong>Windows 7 K</strong> on your <span class="caps">PC</span>; <span class="caps">DON</span>’T change any settings if you don’t understand what it is saying.</li>
<li>Don’t install any anti-virus yet. Or, any other system software.</li>
<li>Validate and register your license.</li>
<li>Go to <strong>Windows update</strong> on your <span class="caps">PC</span>.<br>
And update your Windows to Service pack 1. Please <strong>avoid</strong> updating Internet Explorer-8 to 9. Uncheck it.</li>
<li>Now Windows will restart automatically.</li>
<li>Again, Go to Windows update. In the <strong>optional</strong> section, you’ll will see a long list of language pack. Select <em>English</em>. </li>
<li>Complete update. Again restart.</li>
<li>If your <em>Windows 7 K</em> is not converted to <em>Windows 7(English)</em> then from <strong>Language settings</strong>, choose <strong>English</strong> as display language.</li>
<li>Again, restart. </li>
<li>Now it should be in English. Some text still may be in Korean. Don’t bother for it. Your life will be quite okay without those.</li>
<li>Now, install whatever software you want.</li>
</ul>

<li>If now you are in trouble with Microsoft Office’s Korean package, check out <a href="https://blog.kmonsoor.com/install-english-language-on-microsoft-office-2007-2010/">my relevant post.</a> </li>
<li>After completion, you may find trouble using Microsoft’s <strong>Internet Explorer 9</strong>. I don’t know why <strong>Internet Explorer 9</strong> don’t work properly on Windows 7.<br>
If you face problem after installing it like “<span class="caps">I.E.</span> is not responding….”, “<span class="caps">I.E.</span> closed unexpectedly” etc. <strong>uninstall that</strong>. </li>
</ul>
