How to install a Biblical Greek keyboard in Windows 10
First, we need a Biblical Greek keyboard. This is different than the modern Greek keyboard that comes with Windows 10. Logos Bible Software offers a free downloadable keyboard for PC. You can find this download at their website :

On the bottom right corner of the screen you should see a “Quick buy” button. Click that. You will then need to log in to your Logos account or create an account if you do not already have one. From there you will be taken to your order summary page.
At the bottom of the order summary page you will see links to download various original language keyboards. Click on the link for LogosBiblicalGreekKeyboard.exe and that will download the keyboard installer into your Downloads folder.
Minimize your web browser window
Then open your file explorer
Navigate to your downloads folder and double click on the downloaded keyboard installer file.
A file extractor window will open. First click on the Browse button in the center of the window and choose a file location you will remember. For the example below, I’ve used my Downloads folder. You then extract all files by clicking the Unzip button in the upper right corner.
Once the extraction is complete you can close the WinZip window and in File Explorer navigate back to where you extracted the files (in my example, it’s the Downloads folder). You will now see a Logos Biblical Greek Keyboard folder.
Open that and you will see another folder named kbdlbgr.
Open the kbdlbgr folder. Inside you will find a file named setup. Double-click on the setup file.
You may see a brief installation window open up and ask for permission to install the keyboard. If so, say yes to the installation. Once complete, you should now see the word ENG on the bottom right side of your screen. If ENG does not appear, right click on the bottom task bar and select “Show Touch Keyboard Button”.
This is how you will now switch between a Greek keyboard and an English keyboard. Click on ENG and you should see an option to switch to the Greek keyboard.
If you switch to the Greek keyboard, anything you type will be in Greek. The word ENG is now replaced with EΛ. Since your keyboard probably doesn’t have dual English and Greek keys, click on the keyboard icon just to the left of the words EΛ. If you don’t see the little keyboard on your task bar, right click on the task bar and select the option to “Show touch keyboard button”.

You should now see a virtual keyboard with the Greek alphabet. To close the virtual keyboard, click the little x in the upper right corner.
You can now toggle back and forth between the English and Biblical Greek keyboards!
