    Hi Victor. I'm Greg, an installation specialist, 10 years awarded Windows MVP, and Volunteer Moderator, here to help you.

    Try changing it in the MS Store online, bottom left corner of the page, click on the existing region/language and change it to yours. Illustration here:

    If that is not enough change it here too:

    4. Enter a user name and hit next.
