Many laptops have a Function key such that [Function]+ALT+0241 = ñ

From the Control Panel, I have configured my keyboard to use "English
(United States), with the "United States-International" layout, instead of
the default, "United States 101" layout. It takes some getting used to
because you have to use the space bar immediately after hitting the quote
key ("), or you wind up with umlauts (ä)! But that conveniently places a
tilde (~) over the (n) key when you go straight from the tilde to the (n).

But it drives me nuts when I am on somebody else' computer, with a standard
"United States 101" keyboard layout; I am always getting a space
immediately after a quote mark! (Force of habit; hit the space right after
the quote, if a quote is what I want.)

Add a Spanish keyboard to your computer by going to Regional settings
and adding the Spanish language. To toggle between the two, either use
your mouse with the language icon that will appear on your task bar or
by using Alt+Shift. Control panel/Date, time and regional options/Add
other languages/Details button.
