HWInfo64 is an incredibly handy tool, especially for anyone looking to dive deep into their computer’s hardware details. Whether you’re troubleshooting a computer issue or simply curious about your system’s specs, this utility can be invaluable. However, there’s a common issue that many users face: the program might open in a language you don’t speak or want, especially if you’re more comfortable working in English.
Luckily, HWInfo64, like many other programs, pulls its language settings from your Windows configuration. But if you’re facing this language barrier and don’t want to change your operating system’s language, there’s a simple way to change it directly within HWInfo64 itself.
Here’s how to switch the language to English without altering your Windows settings:
Step-by-Step Guide to Change the Language:
Launch HWInfo64
First, open the HWInfo64 utility. Upon launching the program, the first window you’ll see is the language selection screen.
Locate the Settings Button
In this window, look to the right side of the screen. You’ll see a button – this is the settings button. The placement of this button remains the same regardless of the language, so don’t worry about any confusion here.
Open the Settings Menu
Click on the settings button, and a new menu will appear.
Find the Language Selection
At the bottom left corner of the settings menu, you’ll find a dropdown list of languages supported by HWInfo64.
Select English
From the list, choose English as your preferred language.
Confirm the Change
After selecting English, click the button on the left side of the window, which is usually labeled as OK in most languages.
Restart HWInfo64
A prompt will appear asking you to restart the software for the changes to take effect. Simply follow this prompt, and after restarting, HWInfo64 will be displayed in English.
That’s it! With just a few clicks, you can switch HWInfo64 to the language you are most comfortable with—without the need to change your entire operating system’s settings.
By following these simple steps, you’ll be able to use HWInfo64 in English, making it easier to navigate and troubleshoot your system. Enjoy the process, and happy troubleshooting!
