Window 7 Home Premium Language issue

So I just recently build a pc with Window 7 Home Premium OS in German.

The thing is, I am Korean and being able to read and write Korean is essential. 

I installed the OS and went through all window updates with success.

So I went to 'region and language' to enable Korean keyboard.

So, here is where I get this weird problems.In some places, I am able to type and read Korean and when I type on some other sites,

Korean is typed in boxes and any other written Korean is visible in boxes only. I tried to see if I could download MUI or universal language pack

in window 7 Home Premium. However, I had no success fixing this problem. Apparently, MUi is only availabe in either Window 7 ultimate or enterprise.

 

Is there any solutions to fix this annoying problem? or do I just have to live with it(which is unacceptable to me though)?

Thank you for your help in advance.

Hmm...That will definitely put me in a dilemma. All the programmes I have downloaded on HDD will not be affected, as long as I just reinstall the Window 7 OS in the SSD right?

or is there certain things,including such trivial steps, I need to be aware of?

If a program stores settings in the registry (most do) they will have to be reinstalled. But Steam is portable, so you don't have to worry about that. I will see if I can find a Korean ISO of Windows 7 for you.

Just before you do that let me put you on a update on what I did so far. I followed on a tip given by techguru. I followed the step using Vistalizator and added a Korean Language pack and it asked me to restart the PC.Before restarting my PC, I went through on some youtube clips on this problem and some suggestion video was upgrading Widnow 7 from home premium to ultimate using anytime upgrade. I gave in some randomly generated key,which it worked and started installing it. Mid-was I got scared and closed the upgrade window using window task-manager. So, I restarted my pc and it is now on ultimate. As far as I can tell, it is on ultimate. I am on my to adding Korean language pack but is the Window 7 ultimate properly installed? or did I just do something no-one should have done?

As long as the system works, you're fine. Just be aware that you cannot go back to Home Premium without reinstalling, and now you have to activate Windows 7 Ultimate. You better have a key for it.

Under system information it states under Windows-edition : Window 7 Ultimate with Copyright ...All rechte vorbehalten(which means all right is reserved) with Service Pack 1.

Ran a window update and it is updating some files right now. I kind of got scared from you mentioning that I should better have a key for the update. If something does not work, I just

have to fall back on reinstalling the window 7 Ultimate premium I guess?

I didn't say anything about updating. If it fails to activate, it will just enter the 30-day grace period where it will run fine, look genuine to tools such as MGADiag, and wil download optional updates. When that ends, it will start bugging you to activate, will remove your wallpaper, block anything but critical updates, and will make it pretty hard to use.

that sounds awful. I just hope my OS runs fine even after 30 days.If I get a problem after 30 days, at least I will know what has caused. Thank you for your insight.

I tried your method but I had to restart the PC.Before that, I used a generated window key to upgrade from window home premium to ultimate, which seems fine right now. As Speedbird states, I might run into problem after 30-days trial. I hope it does not and when it does, at least I know what caused it.

I have installed MUI via Window update as I have installed Window 7 Ultimate. Hence, I was able to change my display language to Korean. Now, I can see all Korean characters without any problem. Thank you for you help.
