Changing windows administrative region
Is it safe to change Windows administrative region (system locale) to another country ? What effect possible could happened ?
Is it safe to change Windows administrative region (system locale) to another country ? What effect possible could happened ?
Can you explain why you are making this change?
Are you moving or just visiting? Is it a temporary change or permanent?
Here is a caution about software purchased via the Windows Store:

The same restriction may or may not apply to other software purchased with a region based license.
Anyhow, you can always change it back:
Change Country or Region Home Location in Windows 10
Another good reference:
Location of Windows 10 - Change for when Abroad
Hope this helps a bit.

Yes i am from asia and i visiting europe next week and bring my laptop. Is this only effect windows store ? or this also effect my windows language or anything else?
I honestly can't say for sure because I have no idea what other software you have installed that may have been purchased with a regionally based license restriction; however, since the tutorial (link provided) does not provide any catastrophic warnings and clearly states "you can always change it back", I think you will be just fine. Our admin is really good about providing any necessary cautions.
Hope this helps.
Enjoy you trip.
