Microsoft's Windows 7 and Windows 8 operating systems let you add input keyboards for many languages without having to use the Windows install disc. Once you enable the Korean input keyboard, you can type in Korean in most programs, including Web browsers and email. You can also enable the option to use a visual keyboard, where you can see the key layout on-screen and click or type to create characters.
