DRAFT: Using a Spanish keyboard on Windows computers

In order to use the Spanish keyboard (or any language keyboard) in Windows, you need to install the keyboard.

Open the Start menu and go to Settings > Time & Language > Language.
Select Add a language and search for the Spanish variety you would like to add.
Click Next and make sure Install language pack is selected. Then click Install.
On the right side of the taskbar, there should now be an icon that says EN. This is the Language Bar. Click it and choose Spanish, changing the icon to say ES.

When you press the APOSTROPHE ( ' ) key, QUOTATION MARK ( " ) key, ACCENT GRAVE ( ` ) key, TILDE ( ~ ) key, or ACCENT CIRCUMFLEX aka CARET ( ^ ) key, nothing is displayed on the screen until you press a second key:

If you press one of the letters designated as eligible to receive an accent mark, the accented version of the letter appears.
If you press the key of a character that is not eligible to receive an accent mark, two separate characters appear.
If you press the space bar, the symbol (apostrophe, quotation mark, accent grave, tilde, accent circumflex or caret) is displayed by itself.

Press this key
