    On many HP models, that is an option you can toggle in the BIOS setup... whichever way YOU like.

    Yeah, there's an option in the BIOS to switch "action keys" with the f# keys(or something similar...returned my dv6 for a 1080p screen, so don't know exactly)

    There were some f keys I don't use, so I used Sharpkeys ( RandyRants: SharpKeys 3.0) to remap to the keys I needed.
