You might be better trying to buy one online from Britain, Usa or Australia and have it shipped there. I had someone install some Chines programs on my old laptop and for some reason some things would just default to Mandarin randomly. If no one was there who could understand and help me I was stuck.

If you take a trip to Shanghai, go to Media Markt. You can buy an actual computer with an official, registered copy of Windows (in English or even German, Dutch, etc.)

NEVER NEVER EVER trust those "computer markets" that have to install Windows on the computer for you. It's a hacked version that's LOADED with spyware, adware, and other bullcrap. So are the 7rmb versions you buy on the street.

Be a man (or woman) and just pony up the cash for a real version of Windows. Some places will even special order them for you. If cash is an issue, I'd try a torrent site - might take a while to download from here, but at least it won't have the virus crap that comes with the Chinese versions.

Alex66:

Mr Tibbles can you tell where Media Market ( address) is in Shanghai? and any WEB sites for the sellers if you have them. Thanks

Anything from an actual name brand store will have this for you. If you're looking for a cheaper version of Windows 7, it can find it, but it updates ifself, the minute you log on and the operating system updates itself, it will shut your system down. If you find someone to block that problem, most of your applications will not work

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
