Windows 10 allows you to add one or multiple keyboard layouts during setup — also known as Out-of-box experience (OOBE) —. However, if you configured the wrong layout, or you need to type in different languages, you can add and change your keyboard configuration at any time.
Usually, you won't need to change your input settings, but if you need to type in Spanish (you know, when you need to type words that include the letter 'Ñ'), you have to switch to United States-Dvorak, or another layout, the language settings on Windows 10 makes it an easy task for hardware as well as for the touch keyboards.
In this Windows 10 guide, we'll walk you through the steps to add and switch keyboard layouts on your device.

Well, the answer to your problem (but not to your question) is to change your IDE. Dev-C++ is far too old to support C++11. The MinGW GCC version that ships with Dev-C++ is version 3.4.2, which is really old. Decent support for C++11 starts roughly from 4.6.0, but since it is still experimental, the newer the better. Currently, you can get 4.7.1 version through '>TDM-GCC ports. I recommend switching to '>CodeBlocks, which you can download as an installer that includes TDM-GCC 4.7.1. That should allow you to have decent C++11 support.

As for setting compiler options, you typically have to navigate the 'Build Configuration' or 'Project Properties' or similar panels. Usually, you will find a place to put 'custom compiler options' where you can place the exact command-line compiler option (like -std=c++11), that is, if you can't find a checkbox for the particular option you need.
