How do I swap over the @ and " symbols on my new laptop's keyboard?

I've just bought a new laptop and the @ is on the number 2 key and the " on the ' key. How can I swap them over so that the key does what the symbol on the key says it does?

    I get this one a lot. Do this:

    Start - Control Panel

    Go into Regional & Language Options

    Select the Languages Tab at the top, and then click details.

    Change the Keyboard Input from English(US) to English(United Kingdom).

    You might also want to check the other settings in Regional & Language Options to make sure they are all United Kingdom.

    Hope that helps!
