Yeah you better set it to Ireland or Malta to get full EU conformity.
Genuinely curious: Does that actually work? Don’t you have to have your credit card registered to an Irish bank to make payments in that PC’s Windows Store?
I never, ever, linked any payment means to Windows or Microsoft, and yes it absolutely works. I've got my VPN set to Europe as well most of the time though (Sweden actually), and for the language settings I'm indeed using Ireland, and can confirm in that configuration it works.
