I got a Pi, configured it for a 7" LCD, everything was working well.
Decided I didn't like the time being UK time and I'm in US, so found instructions how to "americanize" the pi settings.
Did this and time successfully fixed, but along the way there was a keyboard reconfiguration section. I truly believe that I selected American US and standard Logitech keyboard... but now the Pi sees the keyboard strokes a characters I've never seen before and I'm totally stuck.
Thought I could edit profile on my PC running Win10, but it doesn't recognize the SD format. I'm at a loss as to what to do at this point? The SD card was a noobs card that came with the Pi that I installed Raspian from.
I would appreciate any guidance, and please recognize if you start talking Linux and Pi talk, I probably won't understand.
Thanks in advance,
sudo raspi-config
