Pre-installed apps bought from USA, but Apple ID default store is in another country

Hi,

I am a student and I plan to buy a MacBook in USA (+ the pre-installed educational bundle). However my current MacBook's (and Apple ID) App store is in another country as I live there most of the time (also in the pandemic situation...).


Will I have any problem installing and running the apps (Logic Pro, FinalCut Pro, MainStage etc.) on my new USA-bought MacBook, while still having my Apple ID in non-USA region App store?


Thank you

MacBook Pro (2020 and later)

To have access to US apps you will need to change your account country to the US Store. To do so, you must be a legal resident of the US, provide a US payment method, such as a US bank card, and will need to have a verifiable US billing address.
