Change the system locale
You can change your system locale if your locale setting is not set correctly for the supported regions.
About this task
NOTE: You must select the same locale on both the old and new PCs.
See Supported locales for the list of supported locales.
When Dell Data Assistant is launched on the old PC, it runs a series of prechecks to validate that the PC has the required
prerequisites for Migrate. One of the prechecks is the locale settings.
If the PCs are not on the supported locale, Migrate prompts you to change to a supported locale and try again.
