    Still got a desktop that hasn't been used in years. Should still work but can't remember which edition of Windows it has.

    Got a couple of old laptops kicking about. Also have a couple of Samsung tablets one of which has hardly been used. They're ideal when travelling as I find using my mobile to browse a right PITA.

    Currently using the Dell laptop the missus got for the MIL but was never used. The keyboard keys can be a ruddy nightmare due to it having a Spanish layout. Still don't know how to get the @ key to work.

    Ai Google has reminded me the Steps to Add a Second Keyboard Language. I have the two languages setup on most of my devices

    1. Open Settings: Press Windows Key + I or open the Start menu and select Settings (gear icon).
    2. Navigate to Language: Select Time & Language, then choose Language (or Language & Region in Windows 11).
    3. Add Language: Click Add a language under the "Preferred languages" section.
    Install Language: Search for the desired language, select it, click Next, and install the language pack.
    4. Add Specific Keyboard Layout: A a new keyboard layout (e.g., US QWERTY) without changing the display language, click the three dots next to the language, select Language Options, and click Add a keyboard.
