Hi @fidatex,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

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

I see that you are looking for information on how to use the insert function on your Laptop keyboard as there is no physical INS button.

To use the Insert key on laptop, you can use the Insert key on laptop with the On-Screen Keyboard (OSK) instead of a physical keyboard.

Now, let’s see how to use the Insert key with an On-Screen Keyboard on Windows 10/11.

Step 1: Right-click the Start button and select Settings.

Step 2: In Settings, select the Easy of Access category. Then click Keyboard.

Step 3: Now you can turn on the feature “Use the On-Screen Keyboard”. Then the On-Screen Keyboard will show up.

Step 4: On the On-Screen Keyboard, the Insert key is located on the right side, next to the Enter key. Find it and click it.

Please click “Accepted Solution” if you feel my post solved your issue, it will help others find the solution. Click the “Kudos/Thumbs Up" on the bottom right to say “Thanks” for helping!

 

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a great day ahead!

Hello, Who came up with the crazy idea of leaving out the INS button? The solution with the screen keyboard might work, but I don't have time for that. I'm not looking for a new way to pass the time, I just want to switch the INS quickly using a hotkey.
