Most laptops these days, and some non-laptop keyboards too, have a key labelled Fn (presumably for 'Function', but that then calls into question in my mind why the so-called F lets are called F keys), typically by the left ALT and CTRL keys. You may also note that some other keys on the keyboard have small symbols on them in an alternative colour (mine are a light blue).

Depends what you mean here by Fn. I have not thought to check the keys
on the new laptop yet. I will check next chance I get.
