Hello there

 

Fn E just gives me an uppercase E

 

Are you clutching at straws. ? Do you have an HP Spectre ? This seems so fundamental

I have the same issue ("No Insert Key on my new HP Spectre 360") and find from searching the Internet and HP forums many, many other people have this problem. My 14inch HP laptop for work does have one, but not all of these useless "special keys" that I will hardly ever need. 

Can someone please answer, and not, as one user commented, "Grasp at Straws:??

Hello Gay

 

I am sorry but I can't give you a thumbs up. In more than a week we have not taken a single step forward. The question was simple. Where is the Insert key. You don't know. In the words of Bob Dylan

 

You could've done better but I don't mind
You just kind of wasted my precious time
But don't think twice, it's all right
