Hello, just a quick question. I recently got a new computer and I installed Windows 8 on it. I have a US keyboard. Before, on Windows 7, when I typed apostrophe followed by a vocal I would get something like á, é, í, ó, ú. Now that doesn't happen. Similar issue with the letter ñ. Before I could just type Ctrl+Alt+N and I would get it. Is this a feature Windows 8 lacks? or is this something I have to turn on? Thanks in advance.

Thank you very much, but I already found a solution. What I wanted to know is how to enable using Ctrl+Alt+n to insert the ñ and how to make the apostrophe also work as the Spanish accent without changing the keyboard layout.

 

What I had to do was change the input method to United States-International.
