Answer

the easiest workaround I can think of:


install the UK keyboard layout but keep using the US layout as default.

whenever you want to use the uk stuff, just tap WINKEY+SPACE and it switches languages.

Then press shift+3 to get the pound symbol and hit winkey+space to go back to US keyboard.



A possible solution:

get the Microsoft keyboard layout creator tool and remap a key combination to write the £ symbol.
