Yes, numpad and other desktop layout commands still work in the laptop layout.

You can download more voices by downloading new language packs from Settings>Time and Language>Language, this is no longer necessary in Windows 10 version 1903 as you'll be able to download the voices

But just for clarification, does that mean my change to the subject line did not actually create a new thread? I'm using Thunderbird, so if that did happen I'd like to know how I can start a new threa

Sorry. It seemed like Najaf had been posting the question several times as replies to different threads, perhaps I was getting the idea wrong.
