How to access old external keyboard + removing windows

Hello, I recently updated to iOS 26.1 and really hate the windows option… I keep accidentally using it when I don’t want to. Is there a way to remove it? - Image of the window tab below.

Another thing with the update is the old keyboard, I use an iPad with an external keyboard and it used to show autocorrects and emojis without the rest of the keyboard on a little hotbar but now its just emojis, how do I get it back to the old one? - Image of new hotbar below.

Better definition of the old hotbar: it looked exactly the same but between the keyboard icon and arrows were a button to the emojis and 3 options for autocorrections or predictions.

Thank you.
