At last we can uninstall Bing & Edge!

... in the EEA.

"Windows uses the region chosen by the customer during device setup to identify if the PC is in the EEA."

Imagine the tourist ads if it was just device location: "Hate Edge? Uninstall it and see the Eiffel tower at the same time!"

> the region chosen by the customer during device setup to identify if the PC is in the EEA.

Does that mean I can set my country to Iceland during install and change it back to US later and still have these benefits?

> Once chosen in device setup, the region used for DMA compliance can only be changed by resetting the PC.

I’m hoping that despite this, the changes they’re making make it easier for third party tools to do the same thing without changing your region

Seems like!

It is tempting now to reimage my gaming PC.
