Would like to hook up an external keyboard
for our laptop. This would make it much more comfortable to use.
My first thought was to just buy a key board and hook it in and see if that works
but I'm a bit hesitant.
Any advice to get me started would be appreciated.

Don't know why you're posting this in the CPU/Overclock forum, but if your laptop has a PS/2 port for an external keyboard, you should have no problem. USB is another possibility.

I suspect that some posts end up here rather than the General Hardware or Windows forums because of the (deplorable) habit of referring to computers as "CPUs"

A number of of hard drive questions end up in the Driver forum too - but that's more likely from inattentiveness or unfamiliarity with English

We've heard that a million monkeys at a million keyboards could produce the complete works of Shakespeare; now, thanks to the Internet, we know that is not true

Thank you for responses....I'll hook up and give it a shot.
I did click on hardware to enter my request....don't know how it ended up in CPU.
Thought it hadn't gotten posted until I found it in My Computing message log.
Thanks again

You may allege you aren't lying, but clearly you couldn't be telling the truth.....LOL
