It would be ideal if you initially downloaded Windows 7 with the required language pack, but this is not always the case. Today it is difficult to download an installation image without the adverb you need, since everything is included in most latest versions installation files. But if you managed to find such a version, then you have two options:

Configure Windows Update to receive the package;
Download the language pack yourself;

This page provides a link to the official website Microsoft. It would seem that this is the easiest way, but no. The point is that you have to choose for yourself installation file, which would be suitable for your OS version. And the difference is not only whether you have 32 bits or 64 bits, but also what version of the OS you have, Home, Ultimate or another. It also makes a difference whether you have SP1 installed or are using early version OS. As you can see, there are too many variables in this problem for the manual installation file was simple.

Installation is very simple. You must run the file that you downloaded and then follow the instructions. Everything will be fine if you have downloaded the appropriate file. If you make a mistake in choosing the version, then nothing bad will happen, but in the end nothing will be installed. In this case, we recommend that you resort to a more reliable method that does not require any knowledge from you - installation via Windows Update. This method is described in more detail in the video:

Working through Windows Update

It doesn’t matter which version of Windows 7 you use, you definitely have an Update tab in the system section. First of all, we enable updates. If you don't enable updates, that's it. further actions They just won't work. Next, you need to follow the step-by-step instructions.

In the “Language and Regional Standards” section, go to the language settings section. This section is combined with the “Keyboards” section, but don’t be alarmed, it concerns not only the input language, but also the language of the system itself. By the way, if you wanted to download a keyboard layout, then this method will suit you even better than downloading a language pack.

Next, select the section for installing new languages. If you have an English version of the OS, then it is called Install/Uninstall languages. In this section, select “Run Windows Update”, and a new window will open in front of you. In it you need to select the “Optional updates” section, where you will see the Russian language in the “Windows Languages Packs” list. We tick what we need and start the process. automatic installation. In this case, the system will download the package itself.
