How to change Windows 7 language from Hungarian to English?

My aunt bought me a new laptop which is all in Hungarian and I don't know a single word. And she's not here with me to help change it to English. So I'm here asking if anyone could help? Step by step how to change the language setting to English please? Btw this is on Windows 7 :)How to change Windows 7 language from Hungarian to English?
Translating the instructions from Microsoft's Hungarian website:



1. To open the Regional and Language Settings (Területi és nyelvi beállítások) page, click on the Start button, then on the Control Panel (Vezérl?pult) command, then in the Clock, Language and Region (óra, nyelv és terület) section, select the Region and Language (Területi és nyelvi beállítások) option.

2. Click on the Keyboard and Language (Billenty?zet és nyelvek) tab.

3. In the Display Language (Megjelenítési nyelv) section, select the desired language from the list, then click the OK button.



[The other answers have totally missed the point of this question: her problem isn't knowing the steps in English, her problem is that she clicks on the Start menu and it says stuff like %26quot;felhasználók%26quot; and %26quot;vezérl?pult%26quot; and %26quot;sugó%26quot; and similar gibberish. You can't click on %26quot;Control Panel%26quot; if the start menu doesn't contain the words %26quot;Control%26quot; or %26quot;Panel%26quot;.]



Edit: I don't know how the languages are listed in the dropdown. If they're listed in Hungarian, it might be helpful to know that the word for English is %26quot;Angol%26quot;.How to change Windows 7 language from Hungarian to English?
Glad I could help. If nothing else, it was interesting to find out how the various terms are translated - I especially like vezérl?pult. (I remember the bad old days of Hungarian computer translations, when 'file' was rendered as 'fájl'. Ouch.)
