We are intending to buying a mid-range W 8 or W10 laptop unit. My son lives in Germany so wants to have a German layout Keyboard and needs a German language setup. He was asking me if he could attach a usb/or wireless english layout keyboard and install an english language pack if he needs/wants to change in the future.
Is that possible?

Thanks

I use dvorak and your standard qwerty. I do not use a seperate keyboard anymore. I bought transparent stickers made for full and laptop keyboards so I could just use the one keyboard. You maybe able to discover a german character set.

If you required 3 types,I reckon theres no more room.
