purchased it online, still have some of my warranty period left.

Just started working on a project where data is added to the system via the <insert> key.

You should have checked it when you bought it or after you received it and returned it directly. Now it is too late.

 

As a workaround, just connect a <standard USB keyboard>, then you can use the "Insert" key.

 

All the best

If the data is in the clipboard, the Ctrl+V keystroke should work.

 

If it has been many months since you purchased it, the likelihood of being able to return it is pretty slim.

I can ask a Moderator to help connect you to a warranty team so you can get an official answer.

I've never had a PC that didn't have an <insert> key. 

Didn't need the key until last week.

Had I know it was not on the keyboard I would have checked for it immediately!

I have pinged a Moderator.

 

Hopefully there will be a response today. I cannot guarantee that it will be today.

 

You can buy a bluetooth or wireless  keyboard that has an insert key to workaround the issue if returning it turns out to not be an option.
