Chinese Language Features in Windows 10 & Windows 8
The "Simplified, China" and "Simplified, Singapore" regional options include the Microsoft Pinyin phonetic input method, formerly known as SimpleFast until Windows 8.1. The MSPY New Experience input method has been retired, but in Windows 8.1 the popular Wubi stroke-based input method was added. New Experience was my favorite, but in China most users prefer Pinyin input methods that visually separate each syllable. See the list of setup pages below to get started.
The "Traditional, Taiwan", Hong Kong, and Macau regional variants include the New Phonetic input method, renamed "Bopomofo" in Windows 8.1 even though it will do Zhuyin and Pinyin. Also included are Cantonese Phonetic (CPIME, see the next paragraph), Changjie (Cangjie), Quick, Traditional Dayi, and Traditional Array. Although Bopomofo is the default keyboard for Taiwan, and Quick is the default for Hong Kong, these are easily changed. See the links at the bottom of this page for setup instructions.

Chinese Pinyin Setup in Windows 10
Some of you may choose based on which input method you prefer. But it's often very important to make your choice based on the region you are in or communicate with most — mainland/Singapore vs. Taiwan/HK/Macau — to match the encoding underlying your documents and messages. This helps avoid future technical problems, like unrecoverable scrambled messages full of question marks, "tofu blocks", and other garbage characters.
To make matters even more confusing, many people in Singapore use the Taiwan or HK locales for Traditional characters, and many in Hong Kong/Macau use the PRC locale for Simplified. And, the Taiwan/HK/Macau settings offer a choice of Big5 or Unicode. It's best to ask people about their settings before sending much, if they know.
The default Chinese "region" choices are mainland China and Hong Kong for most users of an English-language Windows release. Microsoft has put the Traditional character display language pack downloads only in the Hong Kong settings. (Unlike Windows 8 the Taiwan and Macau locales do offer the handwriting feature, and all include speech.)
