To type Spanish accents (á, é, í, ó, ú) on a Windows PC, you use the Alt code combination by holding down the Alt key and typing the corresponding number on the numeric keypad. For example, Alt + 0225 gives you á, Alt + 0233 gives you é, and so on. 
Here's a breakdown of the Alt codes:

  • ó: Alt + 0243 or Alt + 162
  • ú: Alt + 0250 or Alt + 163 
  • á: Alt + 0225 or Alt + 160
  • é: Alt + 0233 or Alt + 130
  • í: Alt + 0237 or Alt + 161

Additionally, you can use Alt + 0201 for É, Alt + 0205 for Í, Alt + 0211 for Ó, and Alt + 0218 for Ú. 
To type the Spanish "ñ" (n with a tilde), you can use Alt + 0241 for lowercase ñ and Alt + 0209 for uppercase Ñ. 
To type inverted question marks (¿) and exclamation marks (¡), you can use Alt + 0191 and Alt + 0161 respectively, or Shift + Alt + question mark and exclamation point.
