Windows 10: Why can I not purchase a Windows uodate because the payment method defaults to U.S. instead...

The Windows on my Surface Pro corrupted and online helpers suggested a reinstall of Windows 10 followed by purchasing a replacement version. I opted for the Windows 10/11 Pro Update, But when I try to purchase the product, the Microsoft Store defaults to the Country/Region as the United States.. I live in the UK. Any ideas of how to fix this?Iain J

To REMOVE a payment method or switch between payment methods

To add a payment method or switch between payment methods By default, apps are added to your phone bill when mobile payments are offered. To pay with a credit card instead:

• On the phone or on windowsphone.com, tap
  Add or switch payment methods on the purchase confirmation screen.
• Add a new payment method or change the payment method.

Like always, things are made difficult for the end user

not accepting payment

Hi Ryan,

One of the factor why you're having issues purchasing an app in Windows Store is due to payment method settings. See this article:

No payment method.

Hi Darey2013,



Thanks for posting on the forum,



I would suggest to do the following: from your phone go to settings > email+ account > and check the first email on the list under "Microsoft Account", then from your pc log in to this web site

https://commerce.microsoft.com with the same email and password and check, please, under payment method if you can see your credit card listed, if not click
on "add payment method" and add your credit card.



After that restart your phone and check if you can buy an app to test the card.



Let me know if this helps.



Regards.
