Posted byWindows 10 provides a wide variety of language preferences from which a user can intentionally choose the Display language. It is not unusual for a user to prefer his native language rather than any other language while operating a system, but at times fails to change or add a new language if he/she doesn't know as to how to do it. With windows 10 you can obviously set the language for single account, but what about the other accounts and everywhere like, display, lock screen, calendar? For that the user would need the control panel.
Here in this article we would show the ways to change or add a new language in your windows 10 PC with the best possible methods.
Method 1: Change Language on Windows 10 from System Settings
Before you head on with this method, it is important to know that if you are using a Microsoft account, this method of changing system language preference would sync with all the devices running on Microsoft account.
