Notes

Versions of Microsoft Windows earlier than Windows XP need a software update, available from the Microsoft Downloads web site.

Pre-Windows 95 style keyboards have no Alt Gr key, but '''Ctrl''' and '''Alt''' together has the same effect. An update to the operating system to support the euro is also needed.

On older keyboards, the $4 key does not have the € symbol engraved but will still function as if it were, provided the operating system has been updated as noted above.

On older keyboards, the E key does not have the € symbol engraved but will still function as if it were, provided the operating system has been updated as noted above.

This setting is used in multilingual contexts, where Diacritics are created using the Dead Key method.

The option to use the 5 key is for backwards compatibility and is liable to be deleted in a future version of Windows.
