Hi, when a PC is sold with a QWERTY keyboard, how can it be set to AZERTY, because it is supposedly sold with a film...

Thank you

    Hello,

    You're the one making a film.

    If it's a desktop PC, we buy an AZERTY keyboard, end of story.

    If it's a laptop, we can switch the key mapping from QWERTY to AZERTY, under Windows by going to Settings-Time & Language or directly in the taskbar if the icon is there.

    But if for example the Q key will now enter A, it will still say Q on it, hence the sale of stickers online that allow you to stick the new letter name on.

    Some second-hand PCs are already sold in this situation, QWERTY "stickered" to AZERTY or vice versa, and they may actually involve other original keyboard layouts; if you buy an AZERTY stickered as QWERTY, it amounts to removing the stickers, I don’t know if that’s easy to do.

      Hello, I also bought this Allocube PC with a QWERTY keyboard, even easier: when you start it up, it asks for the country and you just need to place the soft keyboard that comes with it and that's it!!!

      Best regards.

        Hello,

        The initial question was asked about a PC in general, not about a specific brand delivered with alternative keyboards.
