> - it asks for a keyboard locale, which then relocated the @ symbol somewhere totally bizarre (why it would allow this instead of forcing the keyboard it is installed with is beyond me, and I just chose UK vs USA, as I am used to this choice being more important for autocorrect and AUS spelling is more UK than US. No - apparently there are a bunch of keyboard layout differences that will then mean you need to google in an external device to work out why the @ symbol has moved, which means you can’t log in with your Microsoft account
I'm sorry, but obviously the keyboard layout moves keys. How else would you expect someone to type using dvorak, have Z and Y keys swapped on German language keyboards or swap keys to perform the most common function for a language. ö and é for example are on the same key but swapped in which one you need Shift for between German and French layouts.
