US software on a Japanese OS PC


Recommended Posts

This might have been covered before, but ---- is there no problem with installing US/UK/English version software onto a Japanese Windows OS computer. Just want to make sure before I make a purchase!

I have Japanese OS, and half my software is English half is Japanese, never had any problems.

 

As a rule you can always install English based software on a Japanese system and it will work with no problems, but the opposite will cause problems unless you have a Japanese language pack installed, and even then there will be conflicts.

If installing JP software on EN based machine with language pack, you can set the language for the language of programs which are not supporting UNICODE to Japanese and see if it works. It's in the advanced tab of language and regional settings.
