Product: Pavilion 800 Keyboard combo
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi, I've purchased a keyboard mouse combo and want to alternate the function keys to be the main F1, F2 etc without pressing FN. Currently it's default is the multimedia.

Everything I've read relates to changing it when using a HP laptop, but I'm currently on an Asus.

Pressing FN + Esc, doesn't work, please let me know how to change it as I use the Function keys and need them without using FN. 

Thanks.

As far as I know -- you can't -- the keycodes are hard coded.

Thanks, I'm not trying to change the coding, just alternate which is the default use, the actual F1, F2 etc or the multimedia keys. Currently it's multimedia, I need it to be the function.
