  1. Wrong region


    I'm trying to buy microsoft subsrciption online, and it's not letting me add a card because it's insisting that I'm in the USA, where I originally purchased microsoft office. My location on all my microsoft accounts is set to Austria, but it still won't let me add bank transfer details or credit card. Can you help and change it in my account?

    :)

    2. Select Settings and click on Choose what to clear.
    3. Check the boxes Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data and Cached data and files and click on Clear.
    Step 2:

    3. Select add someone else on this PC.

    It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.
     
  3. Wrong region to make purchase on Windows 10

    Thanks for the information. To further isolate the issue, we recommend that you clear the Store Cache. To do this, please follow the steps below:

    • Press the Win+R keys to open the Run dialog.
    • Type WSReset.exe, and click/tap on OK.

      Note: The WS tool resets Windows Store without changing account settings or deleting installed apps.
    • The Store and a command prompt will now open without any message. The command prompt will automatically close when the Store cache has been reset.

    We also suggest that you change the region of your account from the Windows Store. To proceed, kindly refer to the link below.

    Change your region for Windows Store

    Should you need further assistance, feel free to post back anytime.
