In most cases, changing the input parameters isn’t necessary, but there are a few exceptions. For example, to type words with special characters like “,” you may need to convert to the Spanish layout, or you may prefer a different style, such as the United States-Dvorak.

To add a language to your Windows keyboard:

• Swipe in from the right edge of the screen and select Settings, then Change PC settings. (If you’re using a mouse, slide the mouse pointer up to the lower-right corner of the screen, click Settings, and then click Change PC settings.)

• After that, tap or click Time and language, then Region and language, and finally Add a language.

• Search for the language you wish to add to your language list, then tap or click it to add it.

To set as your primary language:
