    How to change from US to UK keyboard?


    I have Win 10 Pro. I have an account for myself, with Admin privileges. I also have an account called "Kids".

    My account has the English (UK) keyboard by default. The Kids account has a US keyboard - also by default. I want the Kids account to have an English keyboard (no disrespect to Donald).

    Here's what I tried:

    Control Panel > Language > Eng (UK) > Options > Add an input method

    Now I can add any language except Eng UK. Both the language and Add buttons are disabled.

    Please advise me how to change from US to UK keyboard.

    Thanks.
