VPN go brrrr. Now you're an EU user.
As far as i understand it it doesn't even check your location. It checks the Language & Region in your initial Pc Setup steps. So you have to reset your pc to do that... Until someone figures an alternativ way without resetting your pc i guess.
Why would you need to reset your PC to change your region?
You can just go to region and language settings and do it there.
Microsoft needs to comply even if the laptop was originally bought outside the EU.
I could totally be wrong. That's just something I read in a few news articles. could be a check that only triggers there that changes a few reg keys or whatever. Or it is bullshit and it works post initial setup. 🤷♂️
