I have been observing this discussion for a long time. I now realize I only
have one Windows key. I bought my HP Pavillion desktop in 2012. Laptop are
another matter. I gbuess my greater concern would like in having a number
pad, numlock, and an application key, which I have.

It's quite common to have only one Windows key. That's what I have on this
full-size 6-year-old Toshiba laptop which includes a numeric pad and nearly
full-size keys. The keys which would be the six-pack are in a row next to
F12, and some features like Scroll-lock are done with another key combined
with the FN key. But I have gotten used to it.

I called Asus and they told me this keyboard only has one windows key. I
wonder if there is a way of remapping the other key to become a windows key?

Hopefully BestBuy can answer your question.

You could try calling the company you bought the PC from.

Outside of having a sighted person look at the keyboard, is there a way
of
finding out what this key does?

It might be a function (FN) key. You see this key showing up on more
keyboards these days.

The windows key that you are talking about not doing anything, probally
isn't a windows key. There are so many different configurations of
keyboard
now days. You have to pay very close attention to what keyboard you get
with
your PC and if you are buying a keyboard either wireless or whatever
make
sure the keyboard you choose has the keys present that you need with
Window
eyes or whatever your are using.

Speaking of Asus computers, I just bought a Asus desktop computer and
found
the following:
on my old computer, on the right side of the spacebar, I had the ald
key,
the windows key, the applications key and control key. On this new
desktop,
the Windows key doesn't do anything? Anyone have any idea why this is?
The
Windows key on the left side of the Spacebar does work.

Hi Jo and All,
I also have an Asus laptop. I was very surprised to discover the lack of
the
keys you mention. I have set my caps lock key to act as the insert key.
The
page-up, page-down, and other functions have to be performed using the
function key combined with the control and shift keys. When I have to do
a
lot of typing, I use an external keyboard. When I bought the computer, I
didn't even thhink to ask whether these keys were present; I just
assumed.
Silly me!
Hope this helps,
Jan

I have an Asus PC and believe it or not, I cannot find the insert page
up
our page down keys Ashley, this is a Zen book so I'm sure the keyboard
is
limited. What do you all use and what is your experience with a
Bluetooth
keyboard? Sorry, should be actually. I have windows 10 on the computer
and
Microsoft support removed my version of window eyes when they were
reinstalling office 2016 for me. I would like to use Microsoft outlook
but
no one seems to be able to get Outlook to work with my other Microsoft
office programs, especially Microsoft word. I feel very stuck and have
wanted to figure this out on my own and now I'm in way over my head. Any
help please I did ask for a link from the support staff but apparently
it
did not come through. Spyware is web root which Best Buy installed for
me.
It might be blocking The installation of other software. I can tell it's
going to be a long day
