    This, although some laptops are different. Look for Scroll Lock or Scl Lck somewhere on your keyboard.

    HP laptops function + F5 is a media button, and seriously I think they are getting rid of scroll lock on laptops because it seems alot dont have one, AutoHotKey will allow you to set a custom shortcut as scroll lock and it works perfectly.

    There should normally be a way to toggle media functions on those type of keyboards.

    Its a fixed function key, there is a BIOS option to toggle whether the function keys (F1-12) default to function keys or media, brightness etc etc, but all that does is swap whether you have to press fn to use F1-12 or media etc.

    Trust me I have tried EVERYTHING for scroll lock and the only way is with AutoHotKey, alot of modern laptops do NOT have a scroll lock key, mainly because for most home computing tasks its not needed, I for one have barely used a scroll lock key, but if no one believes me then meh.

    Relax, noone is saying they don't believe you. I was just giving an alternative to looking for external programs to do something that many laptops can do on their own.

    If Fn+F5 works, I would suggest you just use the hardware given you. If it doesn't, try out the autohotkeys. No big deal, do whatever works to get those screenshots.
