Is there a way to replace FN-F2 with only F2 I restarted my PC and pressed FN-F12 or Fn-F1 and I didnt find configuration Tab to change from "Hotkey Mode" to "Legacy Mode".

all the tabs that I have are as follow

MAIN devices advanced power security startup and exit

I'm using Lenovo PC.

Is there a way to change it from command prompt directly?

So please any help what should I do?

Thanks a lot for any help

  • Assuming you're using Windows, open a command prompt, type or paste the following command and press Enter: `wmic csproduct get /format:list`. Then post there the command output. – and31415 May 13 '14 at 07:43

I found this link and it was really helpful for me:

http://support.lenovo.com/pt_BR/downloads/detail.page?&LegacyDocID=MIGR-75582

I only followed the steps: i downloaded the zip file and extracted it. I installed it by clicking a double click on setup.exe

Now I can search from start - "Lenovo Slim USB Keyboard"

and just tick :

"Use F1-F12 as standard function keys"

:))

Thanks again for you @and31415 cz you let me found the key by searching for My keyboard model and I hope I will help the others with my answer

  • Lenovo usb keyboard driver works also in Win10-64bit even if download page did not say it. New background service is running but a small price for having an usable keyboard. – Whome Nov 26 '16 at 08:55
