Notes
To be able buy an app from the Store in a specific country or region (based on the Home location setting for your PC), you need to use a payment method from that country or region. For example, if you buy an app from the Store and your PC’s Home location is set to the United States, your payment method needs to be one from the United States.
When you add a credit card as a payment method, Microsoft authorizes the card by making a small, temporary charge to your account. You won’t pay anything until you buy something from the Store.
Your credit card company might charge an International Transaction Fee (ITF) or a currency conversation charge when you buy something from the Store.
