Windows 10: I live in the USA but my Windows version was built for the UK. It always prioritizes news...

I'm sorry to hear about the scalding hot temperatures of 30 degrees in the UK, but where I live, in the southwest USA, we have Summer temperatures above 100 quite often.

USA NOT UK

I set my daughter up on her new Windows phone she is 12 and when i give her permission too download her apps , i get to the credit card section and its USA not UK ?

 

Nov update failed. Media Creation Tool insists on USA not UK


The November update failed through Windows update, twice; then I tried the Media Creation Tool using recommended settings back in December. It too failed, and in doing so did not quite revert back to how it was before. Eventually I got it sorted out. Since then I have identified and fixed two drivers that were at fault, one of which gave a BSOD following the failure just to prove itself.
However, I am still on 10240, and would like to be up to date.




The Media Creation Tool - even the one downloaded from the Microsoft UK site, shows that it is English (United States). When I upgraded from Windows 7 to 10, all sorts of things in my PC got switched to US, and several parts including Cortana, would not work.




Currently EVERYTHING is set to UK, so far as all of the settings in Control Panel go - for all users including any new user. I do not want to update and have similar problems to my initial upgrade.

However, if I change the recommended settings in the MCT and download the UK version, then run it, I am advised that it cannot keep my files and settings because my OS is different to the ISO.

What is it that makes it think my PC is a US version? Is there a way that I can fix that?
