I bought a new Toshiba laptop, which comes with windows 8 pre installed, but the problem is that I bought it in Germany, and so the OS is all in German. Since I don't understand any German computer terms, I need Windows 8 in English.

How can I get that? Can I somehow swap what is on the machine with Microsoft, or what do I have to do? I haven't yet booted, in case that would make some difference to the solution.

Please help.
