[SOLVED] Can we assign custom tasks to function keys? (This is my first build, Don't know how it works)

[wabale97]

This is my first build. I'm used to a laptop and the function key for multimedia function. Now my function key only does windows stuff like f1 is for help and all. I don't know how to change the task of function keys. Is it depend on the keyboard? Because I've a budget keyboard. Am I able to get multimedia tasks on function keys?

What are details of the PC? DO you know what motherboard

Some answers suggest its a bios setting but I want to check. Those are mostly Laptops though

I know more expensive keyboards do it all with their manager software, my keyboard has too many function keys + media keys I hardly ever use... we should swap (joking)

about keyboards swapping, We don't know the importance of something until we lose them. (joking)
edit: ok thanks for the links, It worked.

I know that all too well. Unrelated but I totally agree with that when it comes to PC case filters. I had a lian li with filters, next PC didn't have them and so, when it came to this PC, I wanted them badly as it saves on cleaning PC.

glad mapping software helped
