Programmable hotkeys for a Acer 6512-UV (Versato rebadged keyboard)

Hi folks =)

I'm running Windows 10.

I got me a Acer 6512-UV keyboard.  It's old.  It's got five programmable hotkeys, and I want to map one of the keys to start my MP3 player (Winamp)

Where can I get the software to reprogram the hotkeys?

The audio hotkeys (play/pause, stop, skip) and the rotary volume control all work OK.

Even the sleep button does a great job of sleeping the computer with a single key press (!)

But I want to start Winamp with a single keypress instead.

Any ideas?

Thanks all :)

    3. Click Keyboard Shortcuts in the sidebar to open the panel.

    Thank you for your reply christy1

    Where can I find the Activities overview?

    Is it supplied with Windows 10, or is it an additional download?

    I downloaded and installed the Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center, but it said no supported device was detected.
