Windows 10: Using Region locked key for microsoft store?

Hi! i am planning on buying a flight simulator 2020 key for the microsoft store that is really cheap. Problem is that the key is region locked for USA and i live in Europe. Is there some kind of workaround for this, like changing the region in windows, using a vpn or some kind of overlay network?

Sorry if this is a bit off topic...

Hi Fed, I'm Virginia an independent advisor here.

Is your PC set to US?

Open Start.

Click on Time & language.

Click on Region & language.

Under Country or region, select the country you want to use from the drop-down menu.

Have you tried changing the location within the store?

In Microsoft Store online

In the page footer of Microsoft Store online, select your current language/region and pick a new one from the list. You can switch back to your original language and region at any time.
