  • Step 2: add a language
  • Step 3: use the keyboard layout

Step 1: go to the settings

The Region and language menu in Windows settings.
  1. Select the 'Start' button, at the bottom left of your screen.
  2. Next, select 'Settings', which you can recognize by the gear icon.
  3. Select 'Time and language'.
  4. Go to 'Typing' and select 'Language and region'.

Step 2: add a language

The settings menu language in Windows.
  1. Add a language via 'preferred languages'. For the Dutch keyboard, you add 'United States (international) QWERTY'.
  2. Do you want to remove other languages because you keep switching keyboard layout accidentally? Select 'Remove' for the language you want to delete.

Set the keyboard to Dutch on a Windows laptop.

You can easily switch languages with the 'Windows' and space key. You can also switch languages via the taskbar on the bottom right of the screen.
