Hi @digidoge,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

The HP Pavilion Aero 13 (13-bg0000) is a compact laptop, and as you noticed, it does not have a dedicated "Insert" key, which is common on larger keyboards or those with a numpad. Here are some ways you can handle the lack of an Insert key:

1. Use an Alternative Key Combination

Since the "Insert" key is not present on your laptop, you can try alternative methods or key combinations to simulate the Insert function:

• Function Key Combination:
  • On some laptops, the Insert function might be accessible through a combination of the Fn key and another key. Since you mentioned Fn + E didn’t work and Fn + 0 isn’t an option due to the lack of a numpad, this method might not be available on this model.

2. Use On-Screen Keyboard

You can use the On-Screen Keyboard to access the Insert key:

1. Open On-Screen Keyboard:
   • Press Windows + R to open the Run dialog, type osk, and press Enter.
2. Find the Insert Key:
   • The On-Screen Keyboard should display an "Insert" key, which you can click to simulate pressing the Insert key on a physical keyboard.

3. Remap a Key to Function as Insert

If you frequently need the Insert key, you can use a tool to remap a key on your keyboard to function as the Insert key:

Use SharpKeys:

• Download and install SharpKeys.

Remap the Key:

• Open SharpKeys, click on Add to create a new key mapping.
• Choose a key to remap (e.g., Caps Lock or another unused key) and map it to the "Insert" function.
• Click OK and then Write to Registry.
• Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

Use Microsoft PowerToys:

• Download and install Microsoft PowerToys.
• Open PowerToys and go to the Keyboard Manager.
• Use the Remap a key feature to assign the Insert function to a different key.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
