The QWERTY keyboard was developed in the days of mechanical typewriters. It was discovered that a skilled typist could type much faster than the machinery could cope with, and the typewriters often jammed. The QWERTY keyboard places the most-used keys in such a way that is was possible to design a typewriter that allowed typists to type faster with less jams.
Over the years modern typewriters and eventually computer keyboards retained this layout because of the huge majority of typists which were trained in its use. Several other layouts have been developed, Dvorak, Colemak, and more. There is much debate as to whether these are any more efficient.

It because your keyboard settings have been set different to the layout of the keyboard you are using. Most of the keys will work as normal but ones like @ and " are reversed. You will find some others work differently too. Go to Control Panel and check the Regional settings and language settings and keyboard settings and set them to where you are from and the type of keyboard you have. That will fix your problem.
