    Would someone kindly show me how to disable the FN key? Much appreciate any help.

    I don't use the "F" keys anyways.

    It's part of BIOS/EC firmware function.
    You need someone like Svet from MSI EN forum to alter the firmware for you in order to disable the key, or change it to a different function.

    You can't disable in the BIOS.
    Only Svet can hack the firmware to make it happen.
