Default Keyboard help please!

It is to do with the keyboard language you have set up, it is doing that because it is set up to wok as an American keyboard, if you press Shift and @ the " symbol will appear

To change this go to Control Panel/regional and languages options/languages/details
There is will so you probably 2 choices of languages US and UK, just select UK and remove US, this should fix it
Hope that helps:)
