I have just bought a new Dell tower and 36 inch monitor- lovely jubbly :)

I have a problem -when I search for say a Sony 50mm lens for example, the sites come up and they are all USA based with $ instead of £ - all sites seem to be USA based- it takes me to Amazon.com etc- my search engine is Microsoft Edge / Bing

How can I solve this??

I have location and Time set as London/Dublin in the settings

Not very clued up on PC's and there ways

Thanks' in advance

Les :)

Here's what I'm talking about

Go into settings and change your region to the uk and while there change the currency to £
That should sort it.

I have already done that. Time zone and currency [emoji19]
 
My ISP (vodafone) caused me a similar problem last year. The IP addresses which they were allocating were from another country which meant all websites identified my location incorrectly.
Could be a similar problem?

You can check where your IP identifies as being here https://nordvpn.com/what-is-my-ip/:

  1. Right click the URL box at the top of any Google Chrome window.
  2. Click Edit Search Engines…
  3. Click the Add… button.
  4. Set the name to whatever you want (e.g. "Google UK").
  5. Set the keyword to whatever you want (e.g. "uk").
  6. Click the Add button.
  7. Click the Make Default button.

Google is your friend. ;)
 
May need to tell the browser which country. And yes, use Firefox, opera, brave or Vivaldi, rather than edge or Chrome.
 
No idea really but I usually add uk at the end of any search where it’s important.

In windows 10 search bar

Type: set default location & press enter

set the default location to roughly where you live and things will work fine.
