change windows 7 language

I ordered a PC with Windows 7 and got it last week
(Windows 7 Édition Familiale Premium authentique 64bit)
Unfortunately, I made a mistake and got the Deutch version of Windows instead of the French version !
The supplier (I will not name it grrrr....) told me : you made that mistake but now you have to by a new Windows 7 version in French (price around 300 euros)
But a friend of mine told me there is a way to not reinstall a new Windows 7
I still have the genuine Windows 7 DVD
How can I fix this ?

By the way, you should NOT need to purchase new software/DVDs. Windows Anytime Upgrade is available for $139 USD (€102). See http://store.microsoft.com/microsoft/Windows-Anytime-Upgrade-Windows-7-Home-Premium-to-Ultimate/product/73C70758
Apologies for the duplicate post. Found this page in French, if that is easier to follow.  I wanted to be a good global citizen.  :)
