Heya,
its funny i know but the different dialects of english have different keyboard layouts,
in this case the US layout the @ sign is above the 2 however in the Irish/UK layout it is beside the enter key where you described it
to change this simply beside your task bar in the bottom right of your desktop you have a symbol labeled EN and a keyboard symbol, click on the EN and go "show language bar" it will appear at the top of the screen click the help icon and then scroll down and click "Add an input language" then open Regional Language and options, click the keyboards tab and change keyboard, then click add. Add whichever one you prefer, and click ok
now click on the keyboard icon on the language bar and you can switch it to any setting you prefer

Happy holidays to all!!!
