I replaced my HD into with a 1TB 860 EVO.
Since then keyboard backlight cannot be switched on, neither by WIN+Z nor using the special graphic 'Function Key' control.
OS is Win 10.

How can I restore the keyboard back light?

Did you reinstall your OS or did you clone the installation drive onto the SSD? Prior to the swap, were you on the latest BIOS update? After a clean install of your OS, you should reinstall all the companion apps to regain functionality of your laptop. On Asus laptops there is an ATK file that was necessary for initiating backlighting on the keyboard you might need to find a similar driver from Toshiba.
