Is it possible to use the Drop Ctrl in the in a similar way to a UK ISO Keyboard?

more_vert
If I switched the input language on windows 10 to UK english, would the Drop Ctrl be able to work in a similar way to a UK ISO keyboard e.g. pressing shift + 3 would output £. Also, if this would work i understand I would lose the #~ key as it is normally located next to the enter key but on a ANSI layout keyboard the enter key is longer so that key is removed. So with the qmk firmware would it be possible to create a macro (or something similar) to be able to easily type in #? Ideally all changes should be doable on windows without installing any additional software or by updating the keyboard firmware as I will be regularly switching the keyboard between my Work laptop and my personal desktop rig, and on my work laptop I am unable to install any unauthorized programs such as auto hotkey. Thanks in Advance!

Yes, you can change the layout setting in windows to use the ANSI CTRL as though it were an ISO layout. Shift + 3 will type the pound sign and the octothorpe (#) key will move to the pipe/backslash (|\) key on the right of row 3, above the enter key and below backspace.
