To enable function keys without pressing Fn, access your BIOS or UEFI settings during startup by pressing a key like F2, F10, or Delete (varies by manufacturer). Look for an option called 'Action Keys Mode' or 'Function Key Behavior' in the settings. Change this setting to disable the need for the Fn key. Save changes and exit. This setup ensures that the function keys (F1-F12) work without needing to press the Fn key.
