This installs a keyboard layout in Windows that aligns with the Mac Keyboard layout in the United Kingdom. This includes Option+2 for € and Option+3 for #.
The installer was created using Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator, and has been tested using a Logitech MX Keys for Mac. Your mileage may vary.
This does not change the Windows shortcuts and hotkeys to the Mac equivalents; i.e. Ctrl+C is still copy, rather than CMD+C. (A good tool for this is AutoHotKey. A helpful starting place is here.)
