Any way to reassign the home key as the Windows key?

Since I use the keyboard with my Android phone, I have no way of knowing whether the home key can be reassigned. Even the Targus website (http://targus.com/us/universal-foldable-keyboard-for-android-akf001us) is silent on the issue. Although somewhat flimsy, the keyboard works well.

I don't think you have to uninstall, but you may have to contact Microsoft so they can honor the old Key. Try installing -it may work and you then won't have to do anything.

Yes, you can invert the Fn keys via the system preference pane (you have to install the driver to get the pref pane)

There normally is not a registration that is necessary. However if one is needed for windows 7, the key will be found on the desktop.

You have to have the key that currently works in the lock to activate the key-change procedure. Odds are against that, I hope.

It's been a while back when I did it, but you can try the following. Go into; Change Settings, then click on; PC & Devices, then click on; Devices. To the right in the white screen, at the top will be a tab that says 'Add a new device' click that and I think you should be home free. I love this keyboard to death. It's so much better than the Microsoft one.

Hi Don't know 100% but earlier the keys were in the bottom of the laptop. Also you bougth the licence with the laptop so either Microsoft or Acer should assit you with all isseues. And the clone should work as original and Microsoft should recognize your licence number. Ask these fellows before proceedeing in case you still hesitate.

NO, but you can follow these instructions first to make your Win 7 genuine. If you do find yourself with a non-genuine version of Windows after performing a hardware upgrade, replacing a failing component, or - in an extreme worst case scenario - upgrading a hardware driver or firmware that causes Windows to think you're using a new component, you'll need to activate Windows again with Microsoft. To re-activate a Windows 7 PC, you'll need to open the Windows Activation tool. To do so, click the Start button, type "Activate" into the Start menu, and click the Windows Activation shortcut. Select the "Show me other ways to activate" option and go through the wizard, selecting the "Use the automated phone system" option. You'll then be given a toll-free number you can dial. If everything goes properly, you'll be given a confirmation ID you can enter into the Windows Activation tool to make Windows genuine again. If the automated system fails, you'll be put on the line with a Microsoft customer service representative. Explain your situation and they'll hopefully allow you to re-active your installed copy of Windows, making it genuine again

If you go to a locksmith you can have this done. I did the same thing with my existing key.

It's easy to use with mac. The windows key behaves like the command key and alt is option by default. If you go to system preferences -> keyboard and click the 'modifier keys' button, you'll be presented with a dialog that allows you to remap the modifer keys as you see fit. I adjust mine so that option becomes the command key and command becomes option. This way, the windows key functions as Option and the alt key functions as command and you have a mac keyboard layout.

Only if you have the reset tool. If you do not have the reset tool, you need to have the original key or working key.

Yes, you can still use the same license. It's encrypted in your BIOS and the change of the storage does not affect that. When you will be installing Windows 8 from the recovery disks that came with the computer, it will pull the product key from the BIOS automatically. It won't even ask you to enter it (you don't know what it is anyway).

Generally yes; sometimes the key will only work if the previous install is exactly the same version as this version. However, you could reinstall if there is a difference in versions, since you will have the installer disk.

you cant, you'll have to bind it to one of the function keys. I've never had to do it, but this will probably help: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc138531.aspx or just google bind keyboard shortcuts

You can always reprogram the key using a shareware and put sticker on the keys to re-label. You can make a AAAAAA keyboard if you wish.
