Using the keyboard and mouse

The keyboard and mouse allow you to type, select items, scroll and to perform the same functions as

you do using touch gestures. The keyboard also allows you to use action keys and hot keys to

perform specific functions.

TIP:

The Windows key 

 on the keyboard allows you to quickly return to the Start screen from

an open app or the Windows desktop. Pressing the Windows key again will return you to the previous

screen.

NOTE:

Depending on the country or region, your keyboard may have different keys and keyboard

functions than those discussed in this section.

Using the keys

You can quickly access information or perform functions by using certain keys and key combinations.

Using the action keys

An action key performs an assigned function. The icon on each of the 

f1

 through 

f4

 keys, the 

f5

 key

(select models only), and the 

f6

 through 

f12

 keys illustrates the assigned function for that key.

To use an action key function, press and hold the key.

CAUTION:

Use extreme care when making changes in Setup Utility (BIOS). Errors can prevent the

computer from operating properly.
The action key feature is enabled at the factory. You can disable this feature in Setup Utility (BIOS).

See 

Using Setup Utility (BIOS) and HP PC Hardware Diagnostics (UEFI) on page 46

 for

instructions on opening Setup Utility (BIOS), and then follow the instructions at the bottom of the

screen.
After you have disabled the action key feature, you can still perform each function by pressing the 

fn

key in combination with the appropriate action key.

support.

f2

f3
