Change language/country of default for browsing?

Hi all

Long story short, my laptop died on holiday in Thailand and I bought a new one from a local superstore. All fine so far except that when I use google, even when back home, many of the results come back in Thai.

I can't see how to fix this. Is there an easy solution?

Thanks

I would presume it’s as simple as the default is set to Google Thai rather than Google UK. Have you checked what the default setting currently is?

I'm not that tech savvy but I did check settings. I also set the default to google.co.uk in the hope that this would fix it. No joy.

Bottom right corner of Google home page is Settings - Search Settings. Scroll down in Search Results to Region Settings. Then back to top left Languages. Also what are your Windows region and language set to ?

Thank you. The browser was still defaulting to .com. I followed your steps on .co.uk and then did the same in .com (in Thai) and have managed to change it to English. Thanks!

Where is the old laptop? Died in which way? No response when pressing power button?

Try someone where in the Windows settings too.
