Does it actually have the Japanese OS or is it using the Japanese language support? If it is the latter than just go to the control panel and change it. If it is an actual Japanese OS than I do believe you will have to reinstall the OS to get it in English. If you have to reinstall he can still enable Japanese support to the English version.

To assist in learning English he would like to change it to the English version. Question is HOW. Does he really need to remove the Japanese version first or can it be put over the original?
