First Pressing
How can I use the function keys without pressing “fn” first.?
I change my volume all the time, and my keyboard is set up so that I have to press the blue “Fn” key and the volume up key on the functions F4 before anything happens. Is it possible to change setting someone in windows 7 so that I can just press the Function F4 key (blue volume up key) to just change the volume? I have a sony vaio E series if that helps thanks!
Yes you can change it. Go into the BIOS settings menu by pressing the appropriate key (usually one of F2, F8 or F12. Depends on your manufacturer) when the manufacturer’s logo shows up. You have to be very quick because once that screens goes, the computer will boot up normally. So you can press the key repeatedly and quickly to enter the BIOS settings menu. There, you will see and option to change the behaviour of the function keys to “Multimedia first”. That is what it says on my Dell, sorry I have no idea about your Vaio. So yeah just look for the option to change the behaviour of the function keys and set it to perform the multimedia function first.
EDIT- As the answerer below me says, maybe it is a function exclusive to Dell. BIOS is different for every manufacturer so yes, take a look in your BIOS and is it is not there, there may be a program for it. Sorry I have no experience with Sony’s laptops. And remember to exercise caution while installing any third party software.
