Using Windows shortcut keys

Both the standard keyboard and the fingerprint reader keyboard provide three keys you can use with your
Microsoft Windows operating system.
• The two Windows logo keys are located beside the Alt key on either side of the spacebar. They feature
the Windows logo. On the Windows 7 or Windows 10 operating system, press the Windows key
to open the Start menu. On the Windows 8.1 operating system, press the Windows key
between the current workspace and the Start screen. The style of the Windows logo varies depending
on the keyboard type.
• The context-menu key is located next to the Ctrl key on the right side of the Spacebar. Pressing the
context-menu key opens the context menu for the active program, icon, or object.
Note: You can use the mouse or the Up and Down arrow keys to highlight menu selections.
