Hello helpfull friends,
I will try to make it short;
I have a MSI laptop which comes with preinstalled win8 Single Language then upgraded win8.1 SL by me. I have enough knowlegde for how to format my pc but I did some research on this very informative forum and find out that I can make a clean installition of Windows instead of just factory resetting. What I wonder is that;
1) Can I install English single language with my OEM (different language) product key which is embedded in BIOS using "Windows Installation Media Creation Tool"?
1.1) I mean is it asking at some point "Which display language do you want?" when installing Win8 Single Language
1.2) Or language of the Single Language is also bound the Product Key?
or
2) Can I use Localized(US) Win 8.1 Single Language ISO files with my product key?
(Which I found here: The Windows 8.1 (& related) Repository
If Iam not mistaken I have read that site is providing un-altered ISO files)
3) Whats the difference between the ISO files from "Windows Installation Media Creation Tool" and "mydigitallife.info"?
3.1) Which one of these you recommended and why?
4) Is there any side effects of clean installing instead of just using built in recovery functions by manufacturer? May I lose anything? By 'thing' I mean for example product key or some functunality or altering the natural working of my laptop? I want clean installation to get rid of junk program which providing by manufacturer.
4.1) Is any of you guys recommend built-in recover function instead of making clean installation?
4.2) And I guess I will lose option to go back to stock version of my laptop?
Sorry for huge wall of text and mistakes.
I want to thank you all for time. Any piece of information are heavily appriciated.
Edit: I mean "Display Language" of the Single Language. I know I can add other languages as input methods.
