  • [Microsoft Store][Profile][Billing] How Do I Change Country/Residence for Microsoft Account? Editing Your Microsoft Account Profile for Microsoft Store. SOLVED: Change Home Location

    Hello,
    I am experiencing problems with using my Microsoft Account for billing and purchasing apps in Windows store.
    I am using my old WLID that I've created several years ago, and I have obsolete information including my country residence there. Now when I go to
    https://billing.microsoft.com, I see that I have 2 profiles:
    Personal profile: US
    Business profile: Russia.
    Now the problem is that I want my personal profile be changed to Russia as well. Having US in the profile makes it impossible to make purchases from Microsoft Store because Store does not allow for changing country when making purchases via PayPal.
    Currently I have this information:
    I need the Country/Residence information to be changed to Russia. How do I do that?
    I am stuck.
    How do I change country for my Microsoft Account?
    If it's not possible, would I be able to continue using my Microsoft Account with old residence/country information while making purchases through a new Microsoft account where I have specified my current residence?
    Or is it the same as with Windows Phone 7:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2692008
    If yes, do I understand that I have to start all my 'virtual living' from scratch to use Microsoft Store? In other words, do I have to sign-in into Windows 8 with a new Microsoft Account that will have Russia specified as a Country/Region to purchase apps
    from Microsoft Store?
    If yes, can I use this new account only for purchasing apps while continuing to use my old account or all purchased apps are strictly tied to this new Microsoft Account I will use for purchasing?
    Thank you.
    Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

    Hello,
    Thanks to
    this post @ Microsoft Answers, I was able to make Microsoft Store use correct information of my current country residence.
    //The drawback in my case was that I lost the possibility to pay with Paypal, although Paypal supports payments in Russia, and, most importantly, I lost access to US marketplace, all comments/reviews are now in Russian. What a bummer! Honestly, I'd
    like to have access to US store... Seems like the only workaround it to switch Home location for the time I purchase an app and change back when the app is purchased.
    To change the Country/region data used for Payment and Billing in Microsoft Store,
    Press WindowsKey+W to show Start screen and focus on searching in
    Settings.
    Type 'region' (without quotes) and open Region dialog box when found.
    In the Region dialog switch to Location tab and change the country of choice in the
    Home location drop-down list.
    Click OK to apply changes and make them effective.
    Open Store and press WindowsKey+I to show settings charms then choose
    Your account.
    In the Your account screen click Add payment method to configure your payment settings that will be used for purchasing apps from Windows Store.
    Notice Country/region value has changed.
    This country will be specified in Country/residence within Payment and Billing in Microsoft Store app.

  • HT2731 How can I change my store to US, now that I am in the US? A link in a previous thread says not accessible as the profile still shows different country..

    How can I change my store to US, now that I am in the US? A link in a previous thread says not accessible as the profile still shows different country..

    As long as you have a form of payment (credit or debit card) with a USA source, and with a billing address in the USA, then you just need to change your payment information on your account to that, change your country in the store settings, and you will then be able to shop in the USA store.
    Your AppleID will work in any country's store, as long as your payment source and billing addres are also specific to that country (and you are in that country as well, as there may be IP filters in place to stop use outside of the country).

    How will I change apps store country on my iPad

    See this answer by Demo:
    You can only purchase for the country in which you live and you must have a credit in that country that is registered to a valid address in the country.
    Go the the App Store and tap on the Featured tab. Swipe to the bottom of the screen and tap on your Apple ID. Then tap View Apple ID. Enter your password. Go to Country/Region to change the store

  • How can I change Country/Region when I still have store credit balance?

    I registed an iTunes account when I lived in Japan and I used Prepaid Card to redeem Japanese Yen to account (Country/Region=Japan). I have 60Yen in account now, this amount is smaller than cheepest apps (cost 85Yen).
    Right now, I came back to Vietnam and want to change Country/Region and  to continue purchase apps in Apple Store:
    - When I change Country/Region, I received error message "You have a store credit balance; you must spend your balance before you can change stores.". But I couldn't spend money due to not enough money.
    - When I change Payment Type to Visa card, I received error message "You payment method is not valid in this Store. Please enter a new payment method."
    How can I change Country/Region when I still have store credit balance? Please help me solve this issue.

    You can't change your account's country when you have a balance on it. If you can't spend it then you can try contacting iTunes support and ask if they can remove the balance for you : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

    Contact iTunes Support in the country's store where you have the credit and request that your account be zero balanced. Then you should be able to change the country of your account.

  • How do I change country?

    I am trying to make a purchase. My current account is set to Norway but I have moved to the UK. Even when I *try* to change my country, iTunes store does not allow me to make the purchase with the new card details.
    --> How do I change country?
    --> Do I need to open an entirely new account?
    The box that pops up: "You are signed with an Apple ID that is not valid for use in the UK Store.  You may only purchase music from the Norwegian Store with this Apple ID."

    Djohannson,
    Assuming you are now physically in the UK, go to the home page of the iTunes Store, use the change country link to change to the UK, and then to payment information to enter your new billing credentials that are tied to your UK address.
    If you have any remaining credit balance in the Norway store, you must first ask iTunes Customer Service to clear it out before you do the above.

    My boss gave ma a gift card but I can not use it in my country, how can I change country to star using it?

    You cannot change your iTunes country unless you are really moving to another country, nor can you change country association for a gift card.  Give it as a gift to a friend who lives in the country of origin for the card.
