However, if you have a single language edition of Windows installed, that means your Windows OS only supports a single display language.

So, if you install a language, you can use it for Basic typing, Handwriting, and Text-to-speech but not as display language. For that, you need to upgrade it to a different Windows Home or Pro version.
