Can't change location to my country on newly purchased Xbox One

I just purchased a new Xbox One at Gamestop in Norway, where the Xbox One just recently released. I explicitly requested one of the non-imported, Nordic releases of the machine.

He ensured me that's what I got.

However, during the "Getting started" part of setting up my new rig, there was no option to choose "Norway" as my Location.

Now, I can't change my location to Norway in the Settings tab either. I can however select many other countries such as the US, Australia, UAE etc. I ended up selecting United Kingdom, but as they've got some wicked postal codes, the Norwegians ones won't even validate when e.g. adding a credit card.

Might it be that I just got an imported Xbox?

Solution 1:

Update

If you update your console to the "Windows 10" release, you can select your location, language, and region language freely. Navigate to Settings->Language and region to do so

old stuff for people who did not update

In order to change your location you must go in order.

You must first make sure the system is up to date (your area may not be on the initial set up, this is fine... you can change regions freely, just pick whatever you can understand).

Go to System settings

Language and Location

Select the Region's native language (Norsk in your case), Language must be chosen first

All further fields will update accordingly, change them as you need.
