Windows 10: Changing to US-International keyboard in Windows 10

I extensively use the US-International keyboard in order to type Spanish language characters. A colleague wanted to use hers as well, we both run Windows 10, and rather than the many, many options in the list like I had with US-International being about the 5th on the list, her list ended after US Dvorak. There was no US-International option, nor any others below it.


Is there a setting somewhere that may have limited these options for her?


Thank you!

US International Keyboard for Windows 10

Hello,

There is a way to enable the US International Keyboard. You have to go to Settings > Time and Language > Region and Language. Under Languages, if you click English, there should be a button that says "options." If you click on that, it should show you a
list of keyboards in English. If you click "Add a keyboard," a menu should appear with a list of keyboards. "United States - International" should be one of them.

The keyboard works differently from before. If you are using the US International Keyboard for Windows 10, to get é, all you have to do is press ' + e, one after the other, and the character should appear. There is a list of how to get characters on this
keyboard: How to use the United States-International keyboard layout in Windows 7, in Windows Vista, and in Windows XP,
under "Creating International Characters." I know it says that Windows 10 is not listed as one of the softwares that run this keyboard, but it works on mine, and I have Windows 10.

Hope this helps!
