    Hi. I'm David, and I'm happy to help you.


    Follow the steps below to change the keyboard layout:

    1. Press "Windows + I" and select "Time & Language > Language & region";
    2. Under "Preferred Languages", click on the three dots of the configured language and select "Language options";
    3. Under "Keyboards", select "Add a keyboard";
    4. Select the "United States-Dvorak" layout from the list.
    • If you want to remove the old layout so it doesn't get in the way, just click the three dots next to it and select "Remove".
    • Tip: If you decide to keep both layouts, you can easily switch between them at any time by pressing "Windows + Spacebar" or by clicking the language icon near the clock on your taskbar.

    Feel free to ask any questions you may have.
