How do I get my computer to print letters with accent marks?

Question

I have a Windows PC, not a Mac. I would like to be able to type Spanish words properly, with accent marks when required, but I haven't figured out how to do that. I will appreciate any instruction you can offer on this subject.

Here's the link to the thread. The top answer has the link.
