Hi -

I have an HP laptop, and the function keys (f1, f2, etc) do not work like how it does on other computers. For example, when I hit F2, I can't edit the cell. I have the hit the Fn key (located between the control and windows keys) + F2 to edit.

It's so annoying, and shows me down when I work in excel. How can I change the keys so when I hit F2, I can edit or use the other F keys right away without having to hit the Fn key.

Thanks!
