I went to your link and the product that was showing was for "Windows Home 64 Bits Español OEM DVD". It didn't mention that it was also available in English. On reading the comments below the ad though, it was suggested that this product was second hand, didn't load and/or didn't work by many of the posters. So the "Windows  Pro" edition cost more but works fine.

Or perhaps not...is the answer! I have even looked on amazon.de site as they are within europe, but all theirs are German keyboard, even more confusing than Spanish.

The websites of Dell and HP make it impossible to communicate with a human.

When I bought my current one I dealt direct with Dell in Mellia, and they supplied one to UK spec no problem, but my contacts have moved on it seems. 

why dont you check ot Ireland?

There is no amazon.ie - the country is too small to have their own market, and would probably have to have a market for things in Gaelic to justify it. There are also lots of corporate complications with giant corporations based in the Republic!

Thanks Angela, but all grind to a halt when you cannot give an EIRcode - postcode in Ireland.

Sorry I may have missed a response and apologies if I have but have you considered buying a second hand laptop that is fairly new. I’d search market place on face book as a starting point. There’s tons of ex pats that sell all sorts of stuff. You could save a fortune too.

There is always a reason why someone is selling something they have used - in my experience because it has stopped doing what it should.

Has anyone found a way to buy a decent laptop here in Spain with an English keyboard and Windows10 that can be fully changed to English?

Cannot import one any more due to fiendish Brexit import taxes & duty.

Peter,

I have found these people very helpful, if you have the full model detsails on your existing computer, go online and they have a chat presence and you can ask if they can get a new keyboard for your existing computer.
