. Open the Start menu and select Settings.
b. Then in Settings, select "Time & language" (After this is set up, you can just click at the bottom of the input methods menu. And a right-click on the old-style task bar input method button goes even deeper).
c. This will take you to the Time & Language settings. In the "Region and Language" section, under "Languages", select "Add a language":
d. Scroll to the right as needed to find "Chinese (Simplified)" and/or "Chinese (Traditional)" in the list:
"Chinese (Simplified)" actually includes a Traditional character option, and "Chinese (Traditional)" includes a Simplified character option, each with some limitations.
The default Chinese "region" choices are mainland China and Hong Kong for most users of an English-language Windows release. Microsoft has put the Traditional character display language pack downloads only in the Hong Kong settings. (Unlike Windows 8 the Taiwan and Macau locales do offer the handwriting feature, and all include speech.)
When you're done, back in the Languages section you'll find the regions you've selected. When you click on their names, you'll be rewarded with the three buttons you see here. For now, select "Options":
The default keyboard for PRC and Singapore is Microsoft Pinyin. The default keyboard for Taiwan is Microsoft Bopomofo, but for Hong Kong it's Microsoft Quick (a quicker Cangjie). Click "Add a keyboard" to select another from the menu. A keyboard that has been selected can be removed by clicking on the name and selecting "Remove".
"MS Bopomofo" supports Hanyu Pinyin in addition to Zhuyin Fuhao. On the next page you can change the keyboard to Hanyu Pinyin, and on later pages we can use this IME for Simplified characters, and use MS Pinyin for Traditional characters, as well as the display language, handwriting, and speech features.
The Cantonese Phonetic input method (Jyutping) was added in an automated update to Windows 10, but it cannot be selected from the menu shown above.
Now you can click on the name of each input method editor (IME) you've chosen, to get at the Options buttons.
