Sometimes when you trying to switch to Windows display language, it shows a message that say, “Your Windows License Only Supports One Display Language.”
If you are getting an error message that says “Your Windows License Only Supports One Display Language” when you try to switch the display language on Windows. This indicates that your copy of Windows you’re running on your PC offers “single language license”.
The downside of this license is that it only allows you to use one language for your display or changing display language isn’t allowed with this license.
You can confirm this by going to Settings > System > Windows Specification > Edition. If its “Windows 11 Home Single Language“, then you’re using single language license.
If you want to switch the display language, then you have two options; Purchase the Windows 11 Home to Pro upgrade licence from Microsoft and perform clean installation of Windows 11 and during installation select preferred display language.
Fortunately, there’s a quick workaround using which you can change Windows display language without opting for two methods discussed above. So, without further delay, lets learn the trick:
