Here is the website I used to install and use the Spanish keyboard for both my Mac and PC! I use Mac at home and PC and work.

This site explains how to to do everything. I prefer switching between the types of keyboards I use on my computer with just the touch of an icon in your home screen tool bar. It is so much faster than constantly hitting the control and alt keys. As I am a beginner, I feel while using the Spanish keyboard I am enhancing my educational experience in all things Spanish too!

Hope this is helpful!

If you have a keyboard that includes the number pad to the right of the letters, you can use the alt key and those numbers.
For example, for the tilde over the lower-case n hold the alt key while you type 164.
For the tilde over the capital N, hold the alt key and type 165.
For the accent over the lower-case e, hold the alt key and type 130.
For the accent over the lower-case a, do the same and type 160. For the accent over the lower-case i, do the same and type 161. For the accent over the lower-case o, do the same and type 162. For the accent over the lower-case u, do the same and type 163. For the inverted question mark, do the same and type 168.
