    This is the screen I was referring to. I wanted to get rid of the references to United States and Unilted KIngdom. I assume this could confuse Cortana with respect to the fact that my region is Canada and not the United States or the United Kingdom.

    Changing windows administrative region

    Can you explain why you are making this change?

    Are you moving or just visiting? Is it a temporary change or permanent?

    Here is a caution about software purchased via the Windows Store:
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...-windows-store

    The same restriction may or may not apply to other software purchased with a region based license.

    Anyhow, you can always change it back:
    Change Country or Region Home Location in Windows 10

    Another good reference:
    Location of Windows 10 - Change for when Abroad

    Hope this helps a bit.

    regards,

    I honestly can't say for sure because I have no idea what other software you have installed that may have been purchased with a regionally based license restriction; however, since the tutorial (link provided) does not provide any catastrophic warnings and clearly states "you can always change it back", I think you will be just fine. Our admin is really good about providing any necessary cautions.

    Hope this helps.

    Enjoy you trip.

    regards,
