Windows 10: How to use keys with 3 symbols

I am used to using a US QWERTY international keyboard as I live in Australia. I recently bought a laptop in Norway and cannot figure out how to type the third character on the number keys. There is no separate numerical keypad. I was told AltGr 2 would type the "at" symbol but that does not work for me. I also cannot type an apostrophe. The strangest thing is that the Y key types a Z and vice versa.

symbols only displaying after another key is pressed.

Hi Alex,

Virus and malware could be one of the possible reasons why you're having trouble with symbols on your keyboard. To isolate the issue, we'd like to ask you a few questions:

• Have you made any recent changes to your device before the issue started?
  
• Did you encounter any error messages while typing the symbols?
• Can you tell us the troubleshooting steps that you've performed?

Meanwhile, we suggest scanning your device using an antivirus program and see if it's infected by a virus.

We'll keep an eye out for your response.
