How to Change the Onscreen Keyboard

July 27, 2016

Your T10 includes a set of onscreen keyboards for desktop access to the Internet. These are the same keyboards with which you're familiar and that allow you to use the same access method that you use to control the software.

First you should select the specific keyboards you would like to use, and then, when you open an Internet application that requires data entry, select the onscreen keyboards as your default onscreen keyboards.

Select Your Keyboards


1. From your desktop, select the Apps Menu icon at the top right corner of your screen. The Apps Menu will open.
