Make your W10 or W11 migration smoother with this handy tip. When moving from Windows 7 to Windows 10, especially in smaller DACH-region companies, having a W10 Admin machine is key, particularly if your domain controllers still run on 2012R2.
Running into the issue where RSAT tools like GPO show up in English on a German Windows 10 system? No worries—you can fix this without switching to an English Windows 10 or using MUI. Here’s how to easily add a second language to your current W10 with DISM:
Problem Scenario:
You’ve got a German (Deutsch) W7 Enterprise and need to manage English GPO/Gruppenrichtlinien on your W10 Admin machine.
Solution Steps:
1. Download the Language Pack (LP): Get the English language pack from the provided direct links.
2. File Management: Copy and rename the downloaded .CAB files to something succinct, like “en_lp_64.cab.”
3. DISM Integration: Utilize DISM to seamlessly integrate the language pack into your existing W10 system. Execute the following command:
Dism /online /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:\edv\01_LP_EN\en_lp_64.cab
This straightforward process empowers you to handle English GPO on your German Windows 10 Admin machine without resorting to a complete language overhaul. Remember, you’ll also need RSAT for W10, so ensure you download the additional language pack from the provided Direct Links for a seamless integration process.
For a detailed reference on DISM and LP integration, consult the provided resources.

Finally change the Language Settings in W10
The “Wilkommen” stays on the original Setup Language. If you want it FULLY you need an EN English Setup ISO/WIM and then the language packs. However if you use CBB and not LTSB with APPSTORE and other you will run into problems as if the APPS are in German. You can fix that with rather complex Powershell scripts.
