Within Windows, there is another (easier) way.
Go to Settings --> Control Panel --> Keyboard.
Go to Input Locales (under WinNT, in other WIN OS'es it
might be named differently) and select keyboard
EN English/US (International).
Once you have selected that one, you can make all kinds of
high ascii letters (diacritics) by combining ' ` " ~ with a
letter.
'a will render: �
~n �
,c �
"a �
If you don't want " ' ` ~ to be part of a diacritic, just
type a speca after oit, then you'll get it as per usual.

Before relationships, men and women had flings, quick
ones, dirty weekends and marriages. If they wanted a
relationship, they had it with their mother or a friend.
