Using the keyboard and mouse

The keyboard and mouse allow you to type, select items, scroll and to perform the same functions as
you do using touch gestures. The keyboard also allows you to use action keys and hot keys to
perform specific functions.

TIP:

The Windows key

on the keyboard allows you to quickly return to the Start screen from

an open app or the Windows desktop. Pressing the Windows key again will return you to the previous
screen.

NOTE:

Depending on the country or region, your keyboard may have different keys and keyboard

functions than those discussed in this section.

Using the keys

Your computer has different ways to quickly access information or perform functions with certain keys
and key combinations.

Using the action keys

An action key performs an assigned function. The icon on each of the

through

keys, the

key

(select models only), and the

through

f12

keys illustrates the assigned function for that key.

To use an action key function, press and hold the key.

The action key feature is enabled at the factory. You can disable this feature in Setup Utility (BIOS).
See

Using Setup Utility (BIOS) and HP PC Hardware Diagnostics (UEFI) on page 67

for

instructions on opening Setup Utility (BIOS), and then follow the instructions at the bottom of the
screen.

To activate the assigned function after you have disabled the action key feature, you must press the

key in combination with the appropriate action key.

CAUTION:

Use extreme care when making changes in Setup Utility. Errors can prevent the

computer from operating properly.
