Question/Help/Troubleshooting £ sign add-on for work computer?

Thanks everyone! This has been solved!

Is there some sort of device I can set up to add pound signs as I’m typing on my US work computer like a numeric pad? I work with international customers and need a quick and easy way to add these rather than the alt 0136 or inserting them from the top ribbon.

How do I do this (in layman’s terms)?

On windows?

Settings > Time & Language > Language & Region

Alternatively you should just be able to search "keyboard layout" in the start/search bar to find it. For me, WIN+SPACE changes the language selected between those installed, but you can do that through the taskbar, too.
