Magic Keyboard For Windows



Mac equivalents of Windows keys

How do you get the Apple Magic keyboard to work on Windows 10 with the fn key and the correct layout? I'm using a Magic Keyboard with British English layout but none of the fn functions work such as media keys, volume, Page Up, Page Down, Home, End, Del, etc. What I have tried. In order to use your Apple Wireless Keyboard or Magic Keyboard with Windows you need to pair it as a Bluetooth device. Even without any installation the Keyboard should pair as generic keyboard on most PCs with Bluetooth enabled. For pairing no additional software is required.

Many of the keys that you'd see on a PC have equivalent keys on an Apple keyboard.

Windows logo: Press Command (⌘).

Backspace or Delete: Press Delete.

Enter or ⏎: Press Return.

Alt (left): Press Option (⌥).
