Hi costinstoian and welcome.

1. You have bought a Vaio with the German version of Windows and this language can only be changed if you own a copy of the Ultimate version.

2. For licencing purposes, Microsoft will only allow the upgrade to the same language so you will get a German Home Premium Upgrade Kit from Sony.

You can either buy a retail copy in English of Windows 7 Home Premium or you can order the Sony Upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium and then buy an upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate. With Ultimate you can download the language pack of your choice.

Whichever way you do it is going to cost you money. It is always a false economy to purchase a PC with another language installed as Microsoft will charge you to change it unless you already have the ultimate version.

Thanks !

Your advice is very useful!
I hav already ordered the Sony Windows 7 upgrade and I will buy the Windows 7 Ultimate.
Could you please explain is all the Vaio utilities on the computer will switch to English after the installation ?

Best Regards,
