Yes, it’s absolutely possible to have a QWERTY virtual keyboard on your 2‑in‑1 laptop running Windows 10. By default, Windows 10 includes a built‑in On‑Screen Keyboard (OSK) and a Touch Keyboard, both of which support QWERTY layouts. If yours is showing a different format (like AZERTY or another regional layout), it usually means the input language or keyboard layout is set differently.

Here’s how you can switch it to QWERTY:

🔧 Steps to enable QWERTY layout

1. Open Settings → Go to Time & Language → Language.
2. Under Preferred languages, select your language (e.g., English (United States)).
3. Click Options → Under Keyboards, make sure US QWERTY is added.
   • If not, click Add a keyboard and choose US QWERTY.
4. To switch layouts quickly, press Windows key + Spacebar and select QWERTY.
5. For the Touch Keyboard (the one that pops up when you tap the screen), right‑click the taskbar → enable Show touch keyboard button. When you open it, it should now display QWERTY.

✅ Alternative software

If you prefer a different virtual keyboard app, there are third‑party options you can download (like Free Virtual Keyboard or Comfort On‑Screen Keyboard) that allow customization of layouts, themes, and sizes. But in most cases, the built‑in Windows keyboard already supports QWERTY once the language settings are corrected.

So you don’t really need to download extra software unless you want more customization — switching the layout in Windows settings should solve your issue.

Would you like me to walk you through setting up a shortcut so you can toggle between QWERTY and other layouts instantly, without going back into Settings each time?
