Using the Keyboard The keyboard is the primary way you enter text and commands for the PC. The keyboard may connect directly to your PC or may be wireless. Your keyboard has an arrangement of standard keys, indicator lights, and special buttons (select models only). Your keyboard may vary from the illustrations. Some keyboards do not have the Internet buttons shown here at the top of the keyboard, and some use a different layout on the top right. Keyboard Shortcuts Keyboard shortcuts are combinations of keys that you press simultaneously to do specific actions. For example, from the Windows desktop, press the Alt (alternate) key, the Ctrl (control) key, and the S key (the letter s) to display support information for the PC (including model number, serial number, and service ID). You will see this combination of keys represented as Alt+Ctrl+S. In Windows, press Ctrl+C to copy an item you've highlighted or selected, Ctrl+V to paste a copied item, or press Ctrl+Z to undo the previous action. These shortcuts perform the same actions you can perform through menus but save you time and mouse clicks.

Using the Keyboard
The keyboard is the primary way you enter text and commands for the PC. The
keyboard may connect directly to your PC or may be wireless.
Your keyboard has an arrangement of standard keys, indicator lights, and special
buttons (select models only). Your keyboard may vary from the illustrations. Some
keyboards do not have the Internet buttons shown here at the top of the keyboard,
and some use a different layout on the top right.
Keyboard Shortcuts
Keyboard shortcuts are combinations of keys that you press simultaneously to do
specific actions. For example, from the Windows desktop, press the Alt (alternate)
key, the Ctrl (control) key, and the S key (the letter s) to display support
information for the PC (including model number, serial number, and service ID).
You will see this combination of keys represented as Alt+Ctrl+S. In Windows,
press Ctrl+C to copy an item you’ve highlighted or selected, Ctrl+V to paste a
copied item, or press Ctrl+Z to undo the previous action. These shortcuts perform
the same actions you can perform through menus but save you time and mouse
clicks.
