just for your knowledge, it can differ but generally is hold down F8 or delete key during the boot process sometimes it's f7 depending on the manufacturer of the BIOS of your machine but it is almost always one of those three.

I just bought a HP Netbook running Windows 7. The function keys have their default behaviour as some kind of function keys. So, in order to use the insert key, I have to hold down the function key and insert. I would like to have that row work at natively meant. For example, I would like to push [f1] and have it perform the default [f1] behaviour without having to hold the function key. Anybody know how to fix this? I have fixed this on my Mac but, I have no idea where to go in Windows.
