How to install French accents on my HP laptop?

Hi @Nikki144,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

To install or enable French accents on your HP laptop, you typically don't need to install anything extra; instead, you change the keyboard layout or use keyboard shortcuts to type accents. Here are several methods you can use, depending on your operating system (Windows or macOS).

For Windows 10/11:

Add a French Keyboard Layout:

• Go to Settings > Time & Language > Language.
• Click on Add a language and select French.
• Once added, you can switch between languages by clicking on the language icon in the taskbar or by pressing Windows key + Spacebar.

Using ALT Codes:

• Ensure your Num Lock is on.
• Hold down the Alt key and enter the code on the numeric keypad. For example, Alt + 0233 for é, Alt + 0224 for à.

Using the United States-International Keyboard:

• Go to Settings > Time & Language > Language.
• Click on English (United States) and then Options.
• Add a keyboard and select United States-International.
• With this keyboard layout, you can type accents by pressing the apostrophe (') followed by the letter (e.g., ' + e = é).

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
