Both Windows 10 and 11 versions ship with an in-built software store app called Microsoft Store. The Microsoft Store app has tens of thousands of apps and games. While most of the apps are free, some are paid.

Not all the apps and games offered in the Microsoft Store in Windows 10/11 are available in all regions. That is, some apps and games are exclusive to some countries/regions only. For example, an app available for Windows 10/11 users in Canada might not be available in India and vice versa.

If an app you would like to download and install in Windows 10/11 is unavailable in your country or region, there is a workaround to get the app. All you need to do is change the Microsoft Store country or region to a country or region where the app is available for download.

This guide shows you how to change the Microsoft Store country/region in Windows 10 and 11.

NOTE: Changing the Microsoft Store country/region also changes your Windows 10/11 country/region. There is no option to set different regions for Windows 10/11 and Microsoft Store.

Change Microsoft Store country/region in Windows 10/11

Step 1: Open the Windows 10/11 Settings app using the search or Windows logo + I hotkey.
