How can I turn off the "hot keys" on my laptop?

Hello, I've currently been having some issues with these "hot keys" on my laptop and it's really irritating expecially when those are the hot keys I need to use for potions and ect. during my gaming. Can someone please help me? It's a HP Pavilion dv7 61-63us if I remember correctly, so can anyone please help me on this?

Re: How can I turn off the "hot keys" on my laptop?

Are you referring to F1 - F12 keys on your Notebook? If thats the case,  you can disable these keys and can activate it only when FN key is pressed as a combination on the Notebook. 

 

Refer below link for additional info

I am unable to use my mute and volume buttons without pressing Fn. I have tried to change it in the bios but it still does the same thing. How can i fix this.
