There is no such layout by default and I have tried getting the one available here (http://www.kaufmann.no/roland/dvorak/) and it doesn't work with Windows. So is there any way I get the DVORAK layout on Windows?

For future reference, you can add Dvorak as the primary layout during the Windows install process, too. Just select it from the dropdown list on the opening install screen.– techturtleFeb 8 '13 at 15:02

My assumption of DVORAK layout not existing by default was completely wrong. I was looking in the wrong place.– AfzalFeb 8 '13 at 15:06

Is it possible to have an onscreen layout displayed at all time for training purposes.– AfzalFeb 8 '13 at 15:11

1If you need onscreen layout just launch the On-Screen Keyboard– Martheen Cahya PauloFeb 11 '13 at 1:43

@MartheenCahyaPaulo Thanks. I keep forgetting what Windows actually has. I was using the touch keyboard from the taskbar and it disappears every time I type using my keyboard. Totally forgot that an on-screen keyboard existed.– AfzalFeb 11 '13 at 15:06

From the Control Panel select Language and then Options:
In the Input method select Add an input method:
From there you can select the DVORAK R or L keyboards

You can use the Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator to create any keyboard layout you want. It even contains DVORAK layouts to get you started.
Click File → Load Existing Keyboard...

It seems that DLL files created with this software can not be used with Windows 8 (at least not on 64bit). Nov 5 '13 at 12:51

I tried this and created one, but can't figure out how to get this to be my standard keyboard.– QuispiamDec 28 '14 at 21:08

@W00d5t0ck Nope, Windows 8 x64 and Windows 8.1 x64 both support custom keyboard layouts. Been using my custom keyboard since Windows 7.– wassupJun 12 '15 at 16:38
I see an option in Windows 7 here
