How to disable pressing fn key?

[charlescc]

I'm on an Asus laptop win7 64bit and the shortcuts on the "f" keys like brightness, volume, and other little things require me to press fn+f10 for example to mute.

Is there a way so I dont have to press the "fn" key to use the "f" key shortcut? Like on Macs?
I am not the most tech savvy so if there is a simple tutorial or instructions that would help me a lot, thanks.

Yes you can change the behavior of Function keys from Function keys first to Multimedia first or vice-versa.

Simple restart your laptop and press F2 or DEL key to enter the BIOS utility.Use Arrow keys to navigate the various tabs n choose "Advanced" tab.Scroll down to Function Keys behavior. Press enter and choose Multimedia keys First.Save and exit and restart your laptop.
