Re-Installation of Vista Home Premium

I received a new computer with Vista Home Premium installed in French. I
haven't yet activated it. I will obtain the English version of Vista Home
Premium and I am wondering how to install the English version over the French
version.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Simply boot from the English version Vista disk and perform a "clean"
install. That involves formatting the hard drive. Make sure you have your
data backed up first as this will erase it. If you need step-by-step
instructions, there are plenty of web sites that show nice pictures on what
needs to be done in great detail...just Google it.

If I was you I'd take this opportunity to set it up as dual-boot. Always
handy to have a second OS you can boot into, and as you have the OEM French,
and Retail English you own two copies for that PC so why not make the most
of it...
