    Funny part all the keys work out of the box with Linux Mint, go figure.

      Troubleshooting and select it.
    • Click on view all option on the upper left corner of
      Troubleshooting window.

      Troubleshooter.

    Step 2: Update the keyboard drivers.

    • Press Windows key + X key when you are at desktop.
    • Select Device Manager.
    • Expand Keyboard.
    • Right click on the Keyboard driver
      and click on Update driver software
