Solved Can't buy Windows 8 apps in Canada?
Sorry if this has been asked before but if I try and buy a Windows 8 app from the store I am presented
with enter state and zip only. Selecting paypal does not work either and if I attempt to edit my account
payment options, nothing happens. Am I missing something?

It appears if you select English US for your language during the install, Windows just assumes you live in the US. It likely changes what apps you see in the store too. Anyway I'm glad I could help. :thumb:
