It's advisable to install ubuntu first mate then windows after that.

Try virtualbox from Oracle and install ubuntu in that and see if you like it first.

As for the keyboard... goto system>Preferences>keyboard You'll get a gui coming up. You should be able to change the preferences in the layouts tab
