Hi Eric,



We regret the inconvenience caused.



The above issue might occur due to the following reasons:

• Not choosing appropriate default keyboard layout.

Before we assist you further, I would like to ask you a few questions:

• Did you try removing the keyboard layouts from Settings page?
• If yes, does the issue persists even after removing the keyboard layout?

By removing the Keyboard layout from system Settings page, the language will be removed from the PC. However, if needed, you can download the same from system
Settings page and check if the changes made are effective.

  Settings page.
• Click on Time & language from the options and select
  Region & language from the left side panel of the window.
• Click on the keyboard language you want to remove under Languages and click on
  Remove.
• Close the window and check if the changes are effective.

Step 2: Control panel.

• Press Windows logo + X keys on the keyboard and click on
  Control panel from the context menu.
• Click on View by option located at the top right corner of the window and select
  Large icons from the dropdown bar.

Keyboard Layout

"Letters and numbers are all correct, but most of the other signs are misplaced"

This suggests to me that you are using the wrong "keyboard language" for your keyboard, and that therefore you first step would be to determine exactly what language keyboard you have. Possibly have a look at Windows Keyboard Layouts - Globalization | Microsoft Docs.

(The age of any laptop capable of running Windows 10 at all should not be a problem as regards keyboard layout)
