    Hello, MikeChen&Chi0125

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    Based on the category of Windows / Windows 11 / Input and language, It seems that you are trying to Install google pinyin and Microsoft pinyin on your PC. First of all, for Microsoft PinYin, it comes with the system. You only need to run Chinese Windows on your system, and then follow the steps below to install your Pinyin input method:

    On Windows 10 and Windows 11:

    1. Press to Windows + I open Settings.
    2. Click on 'Time & language'. -> Select 'Language' from the sidebar. In Windows 11, you may need to select 'Language & region'.
    3. Click on 'Add a language' or 'Add a preferred language'.
    4. In the search bar, type "Chinese" and select "Chinese (Simplified, China)" based on your preference.
    5. Click 'Next' and then 'Install'. Windows will download and install the language pack.
    6. Once installed, click on the newly added language and select 'Options'. Under the Keyboards section, make sure 'Microsoft Pinyin' is added. If not, click 'Add a keyboard' and select 'Microsoft Pinyin'.

    As for the Google Pinyin, This is a very old input method. In the early days, Google developed this input method specially for Chinese users, but it has stopped operating on Windows 10/11. Google only provides it for use on Android phones or browser extensions. The following is their official description. Sorry, this description is only available in Chinese:

    Therefore, we recommend that you do not download the Google Pinyin Input Method. Google officials have stopped providing download links.

    Even though you can still find Google Pinyin input method on various geek forums or software archive URLs, we still recommended that you be careful when downloading and installing them.
