Surely this is a common issue in the U.K. for people with U.S. gaming keyboards, I have a U.S. style layout keyboard as I could only find the keyboard I wanted in that layout. So I switched my keyboard layout to U.S. in Windows 10 so my (@)(")(#) keys etc all work as they should. Only problem is that now my number 4 key+shift produces a ($)...

So, is there a way I can map my (4) key+shift to produce a (£) within Windows 10 Home and not a 3rd party software? FYI the keyboard is a Logitech G610 Orion (see link below), and I do not run the Logitech software at all because I simply don't need it to run in order to get the keyboard to do what I want, I did open it just now anyway to see if I can map keys as a last resort but I couldn't see a way anyway.

Also I know I can get the (£) by ALT+156 but that's a bit long winded.

If you can stomach having the "wrong" symbols on the keys, then just switch to a UK layout on the keyboard. There are a few differences in layout but minor ones.
If I switch back to UK I believe it swaps the (") and (@) over, and maybe more. Maybe I can switch back to UK layout and just buy some key caps that match what I need .
