You can use Microsoft's Keyboard Layout Creator. This will even allow you to add extra functionality to your keyboard, such as changing a key into a dead key (e.g. ~), add extra mappings (e.g. altgr+c->ç), etc. In order to edit the special keystrokes, like ctrl+FOO, you might need to edit the .klc file manually.
I have managed to get this work with AutoHotkey.This is more complex to configure than Microsoft PowerToys, but it allows far more options, e.g., send an ASCII character based on a specific key click (in comparison, PowerToys only allows to switch a key shortcut to a different key shortcut - which on a Czech keyboard, e.g., means the key for ^ cannot be created, as the only option to write ...
Since you're using Windows 11, you could also create a snap layout with the image of the keyboard and of your favorite text-editing software. You can find the relative keyboard layouts for US and UK in this Wikipedia article, from which I've copied the images for you.

In particular, although, in AutoHotKey, I mapped the "Windows key" to Ctrl, Windows+d (expected to be Ctrl-d) keeps being 'intercepted' by Windows first instead, causing its multiple desktop to be displayed (which I couldn't find a way to disable), or worse a broken keyboard state to happen in which most keys won't even function.
On Windows 10, that's not the case. I've downloaded every windows program/driver related to my keyboard, available on Logitech's website. I've seen couple of keyboard mapping programs for windows, they say that they don't map custom Logitech keys and such, they only map keys that are supported by default in windows.
@fabianroling and anyone else who can't use third-party software: the Keyboard Scan Code Specification from Microsoft has the definitions for all the scan codes. It also says the following: Under all Microsoft operating systems, all keyboards actually transmit Scan Code Set 2 values down the wire from the keyboard to the keyboard port.
I'm running a Synergy server on Ubuntu and a Synergy+ client on OSX. The server has a standard windows keyboard with shift, ctrl, windows, and alt keys. My MacBookPro has shift, fn, control, alt/option, and command keys. When I press ctrl-c, ctrl-v, etc., the appropriate copy/paste action doesn't happen on the Mac, but it does in Ubuntu.
I have a Logitech Windows keyboard and I want to use it on my iMac. The problem is that many buttons are mapped to the wrong places. For example, when I press Right Alt + 2 I get the ™ symbol and not a @ symbol. The problem also exists when I'm running RDP and log on a Windows XP machine. I have Swedish regional settings (input method) on Mac ...
