Here’s a tip that may come in handy. Microsoft makes an app called PowerToys that lets you remap keys without having to dink around in the registry: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/
I’ve used it to put CTRL on that useless capslock key like god intended.
PowerToys is so useful. It's the main thing I will miss if I ever switch to Linux. I'm sure there is software to replace most of the functionality on Linux, but I've yet to get the motivation to look into it.
Stuff like key mapping is built into the settings apps of most DEs. At least it is in KDE and Gnome.
Although there are other useful stuff in powertoys that's either not there or implemented in a very different way.
