  • How's the laptop's condition? Any (other) problems?

    It is most likely the keyboard language was set incorrectly.  If set to US the " and @ symbols are swapped compared to UK.

    Sorry, only just come back to this. I changed my Microsoft account from business to personal and got in, then changed to UK layout.
