Keyoard help

[RICHH]

I just bought a new Windows 10 HP omen desktop and it came with a funky
keyboard.
I wanted to use the function keys on N1mm  but  the new  HP keyboard  keys
are dedicated to speaker volume and other stuff. I tried  the System Bios
to disable the Hot keys but that option was missing.  There is also no
function lock button on the keyboard.

My old ( 7 years old ) previous HP keyboard gives   some  wrong letters.
For example typing  M  gave o on this new computer.
So with that in mind does anyone have a recommendation for a new keyboard
 or maybe how to get my old one to work properly.
It likes I am going to have time for contests.
Thanks   Richard

Richard;

A couple of suggestions:
1) Look for a key labelled “fn” on the keyboard. Pressing that while simultaneously pressing a Function key should give you what you want.
2) Look for an HP application or control that will allow you to turn on and off the functions, or even change them to do something else.

These kind of keyboards are popular. Logitech makes many, with their own software that allows you to set keys to do various functions.
In your case, finding that HP setup software should help you to reconfigure the system to behave the way you wish.
