== Display Language Operating System ==
Windows computers are rolled out in three different system languages:
 * English (Default)
 * German
 * French
You can change the current language at any time. Please keep in mind that you will have to restart your computer to see the changes. It is possible to install further languages without the need of elevated privileges (even if you are asked to enter an user name and password). Anyway, ISG D-ITET recommends to work with Windows in English (all manuals are written in English).
 . To change the system language, click the Windows start button and start typing '''Settings''' and press enter.

== Change Keyboard Layout ==
You can change the keyboard layout by:
  * clicking a system language from the step above and then go to "Options". Here you can add or remove keyboard layouts in general for each installed language.
  * pressing '''Windows key + Space''' at the same time on your keyboard.
  * pressing '''Left Alt + Shift''' at the same time on your keyboard.
  * clicking at the current keyboard layout language icon in the notification area and choose your language.<<BR>>{{attachment:w10-langSwitcher.png}}
