3 # Completely changing the language of the operating system
4
5 1. Install language pack.
6 1. Run `%windir%\system32\sysprep\sysprep.exe`, selecting “Enter System Out-of-Box Experience OOBE)” (“Generalize” disabled) and “Reboot”. (idea from [here](https://www.windowsphoneinfo.com/threads/windows-10-not-completely-changing-language.392074/))
7 1. Select the correct language in the wizard that shows after the reboot.
8 1. Change network name(s) if ncessary. Go to `Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Profiles` in the Registry Editor (idea from [here](https://winbuzzer.com/2021/06/24/how-to-change-network-name-in-windows-10-xcxwbt/)). Alternatively, reset the network settings (_Network & Internet settings_ ➞_ Network reset_)
9 1. Optionally, change the regional / format settings to something which is useful to you. For example, I use the en_US locale, but I prefer the ISO date format and 24 hour clock:
10 * Short date: yyyy-MM-dd
11 * Short time: HH:mm
12 * Long time: HH:mm:ss
13 * First day of week: Monday
14 * Measurement system: Metric
15 * Currency symbol: €
16 * Positive currency format: 1.1 €
17 * Negative currency format: -1.1 €
18 1. Copy the settings to the welcome screen and new user accounts.

26 # Configuring the certificate for Remote Desktop
27
28 First, we have to get the thumbprint, then we can tell the Remote Desktop services to use the certificate with this thumbprint:
29
30 Get-ChildItem -Path Cert:LocalMachine\MY
31 Set-WmiInstance -Path (Get-WmiObject -class "Win32_TSGeneralSetting" -Namespace root\cimv2\terminalservices -Filter "TerminalName='RDP-tcp'").__path -argument @{SSLCertificateSHA1Hash="$Thumbprint"}

35 # Using EUI-64 instead of random IPv6 addresses
36
37 This can be done in [[exactly the same ways as for Windows Server 2012 R2|doc:Windows.Windows_Server_2012_R2.WebHome|anchor="HUseEUI-64insteadofrandomIPv6addresses"]].
