Can't get past sign up screen

Post by Doggoh »

Hi! I tried making a Windows 8.1 Machine on my Windows 10 computer, I have made different Windows machines earlier but on a Mac. When I start it I can't get past the signup screen, because I can't make @ symbols. When I try to copy paste it doesn't work either. I have tried any solution I can find, but none worked.

I just need a simple response with how I do it. I just wanna make this machine.


Help, please :( I'm getting really frustrated with this stuff.

The guest OS has a table that turns scan codes (electronic switch numbers), into letters. If you get unexpected letters then the wrong keyboard configuration has been selected, either on the host or in the guest. Choose the correct keyboard layout and you'll be fine.
