You can change your keyboard's language without changing the language that Windows is using on the screen — this is handy for gaining access to accent marks and other specialized characters, or for typing on a keyboard with a different language layout.
1. Click Start and then click the Settings icon (which is shaped like a gear).

5. Scroll down to "Keyboards" and then click "Add a keyboard." In the pop-up menu, click the keyboard language you want to add.
6. Close Settings. Once you add a second keyboard language to Windows, a language control button will appear in the taskbar, in the lower-right corner of the screen. Click it, and in the pop-up menu that appears, choose the language you want to use with your keyboard.
You can always return to the taskbar to switch back to your original keyboard language.
