Lenovo Notebook Switch Function key

In Lenovo E440 notebook above, the default use of F1~F12 is an additional function, rather than the original function, you need to hold down the FN key, and then press the FX key for, which in normal use, it is more awkward. Under normal circumstances, the original function is used most frequently, the additional functions are not so often used, so you need to change the default configuration.

There are currently two ways to toggle the default function of the FX key.

1. Press FN+ESC, after pressing the Fn key above the light is always on, at this time the function of F1~F12 is its original function.

2. In the case of a 1 method, you can toggle the function of FN and F1~F12 by modifying the BIOS settings.

BIOS (press F1 to enter)---> select config->keyboard/mouse---> Find the change to f1-f12 Keys option, you can see that there are two, one is legacy and the other is default. Legacy mode means that when using a hotkey, you need to hold down the FN key before pressing the appropriate hotkey.

The default mode means that when you use a hotkey, you do not need to hold down the FN key, use it directly, select the corresponding mode, press F10, save and exit.

With this in mind, you should choose the legacy mode.
