In the Format tab, set format as English (United States)
Set Home Location in the Location tab as United States
Finally, in the Administrative tab, set Current System
Local to English (United States)
Also, set English (United States) as your primary display language to make
the aforementioned changes work fine
In case you have not installed it yet, head over to Add a Language and
choose it from the list and then set as primary
After you have made the changes, restart your PC. Once the system is
up, you will find Cortana ready to assist you with information you are

change the settings accordingly. For this, go to Setting>>
