Hi

You can't change the Language of XP. You will have to purchase a full
retail English version of XP. You can then either install the English
version instead of the Italian one or dual boot both versions.

Sorry, you can't. You'll have to buy an English version of
Windows.

This is useful as I was about to ask the same question for purchase in Spain.

I thought I could switch languages in English version of XP ?

Keyboard languages can be changed, but not the main body of XP..

Sorry, no you can't. There are a limited number of things you can
do, such as change the keyboard style to be that of another
country, but the versions are language-specific.
