Toggling Fn key set on my TravelMate TMB311R-32 Windows 11 Pro

I was wondering, how do I toggle the Function key set on my TravelMate TMB311R-32? The laptop defaults to the native Acer Functions as indicated on the Fkeys and Arrowkeys. Also, I can use the Fn plus a function or arrow key revert to the alternate Fn or reserved key set.

I am also curious about the Alt Gr key to the right of the space bar, and the PrtSc and Pause Br keys to the right of the F12/microphone on/off toggle keys. The Alt Gr seems to only act as a normal Alt key, and the other two keys, PrtSC and Pause BR, seem to do nothing. Are they remnants from older DOS keyboards? They are not specifically mentioned in the Acer documentation for this laptop.

There is a Function Key behavior setting in Acer Bios, change that to Function key (or Media key).

Yes, the function is on the Main tab:

Thank you for answering my question. The options were not the answers I wanted or expected, but I realize this laptop does have some limitations/annoyances and found that this is one of them. I use those Acer function keys frequently. But I also use the traditional, app related function keys frequently, especially in WordPerfect word processor. Thanks again.
