How to Remap Keyboard in Windows 10, 8, 7, and Vista PC – Guide

For example, the Insert key is used for inserting text into a document, but you can also use it to activate the Windows key (the key with a Windows logo) or the Tab key. The Page Up and Page Down keys move you up and down in your document’s text, while the Scroll Lock key prevents accidental scrolling. ..
