No, I've not been out on Ilkley Moor in windy weather.

I've just bought a new laptop but it's got no @. If I try and type @ by hitting the @ button on the keyboard it types something completely different. It's so tiny it's difficult to tell what it is. It may or may not be three inverted commas but it's definitely not @.

So where will I find @ and how do I restore it to it's rightful place?

Change your keyboard and language settings in Windows.

It's probably setup as a US keyboard, or some generic European one.

yes You have the wrong keyboard mapping and probably the wrong regional and language settings too.

You need to set your keyboard to be a UK one and your language and timezone to UK / British English (sic)
