Windows 10 has various built-in tools you can use to get the most out of this OS. One of the features that you will find helpful is the touch keyboard. It allows you to type on touch devices. Also, you can use your mouse to type if you don’t have access to the physical keyboard.
If you want to open the touch keyboard, you can simultaneously press the Windows key + R, type tabtip, and press Enter. This will launch the keyboard. But, if you want to use the keyboard frequently, you can add a dedicated button and click on it. Here is how to show the keyboard touch button in Windows 10.
