]]> Today we are going to show you how to change the Windows 10 keyboard layout. Sometimes the keys are not correctly configured. Therefore, they do not respond to the corresponding character. This is the case of the letter ñ in the Spanish language. Similarly, there are other signs specific to each language. And without a correct configuration, they are not displayed properly. Well, Windows provides different keyboard layouts available. Moreover, it is easy to add and change them. Let’s see how to do it.

Windows Settings>Time & Language

On the next screen, please click on Language. You will immediately see the languages present in the system. Please click on the default language. Finally, click on Options.

  • Control+Shift: An alternative keyboard shortcut to Alt+Shift
