Can I use any combination of keys to use f13 through f24?

[bridgetbadazz]

I would like to know if there is a way to enable f keys 13 through 24 or any software there is safe to download that would have this quality.

@bridgetbadazz -- on your keyboard, hold-down the SHIFT key, while you press F1-through-F12 to cause the key-combination to be interpreted as F13-through-F24..

After doing an Internet search: https://www.bing.com/search?q=how+to+use+f13+on+pc+keyboard

it is obvious that using the SHIFT key is the answer.

No "remapping" software is needed.

hi

@bridgetbadazz  check this

You can use additional software to change the behavior of keyboard keys in Windows.

There are several free software apps for changing the behavior of keys, such as Sharpkeys, MapKeyboard, KeyTweak, Keyboard Layout Creator by Microsoft, and others. Search the internet for the name of one of these software applications or "keyboard mapping software" to learn more.

CAUTION:

It is important to create a System Restore point before remapping keys in case you need to return to your original keyboard layout.

Note:

The fn key is a special key controlled by hardware. It cannot be remapped using software.

You're welcome @bridgetbadazz 
Unfortunately, as you can see, not everything always works as expected.
