Windows 10: Reassigning keys on Windows 10

As some might have noticed, the semi-colon ";" and apostrophe " ' " are the wrong way around on the QWERTY keyboard. This is because in English we use the apostrophe in just about every sentence but we rarely use the semi-colon, and yet the semi-colon is closer to the centre of the keyboard. This means that when typing very fast you get don;t and can;t instead of don't and can't etc.

I have corrected this problem on Word via autocorrect, but this does not help me when typing emails or online etc . I would be very grateful if someone can show me if it;s (oops) it's possible to do this, especially via autocorrect if possible rather than complex keyboard changes.

Thank you so much!

Reassign shorcut

Let us perform some other process. You can reassign some keys to access different commands, shortcuts, or Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center features to better fit your work style.

Please note that the options listed in this wizard vary depending on the key selected. For example, since you cannot reassign the Windows key, the only option available is to disable it. To reassign a key, please follow the steps below:

• Using the keyboard that you want to configure, start Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center.
• From the displayed list of key names, select the key you want to reassign.
• In the command list of the key that you want to reassign, select a command.

Let us know the outcome of the steps provided.

Thank you.

windows 10 key

Thanks but I don't want to do any decrypting. I want to download a Win 10 ISO from Microsoft and install it using my Win 8 key. No other steps required. Is that possible?
