- In Windows 10's bluetooth settings (can be found in system tray), click on the icon and then click 'Add Bluetooth Device'. Then, on the Apple Wireless Keyboard, hold down Command + W, while Windows is searching for bluetooth devices. Then (hopefully) after it finds your Keyboard, it will want to pair with it.
- The Apple Wireless Keyboard Helper is a free application which, despite the name, works with all of Apple’s keyboards. Once installed, the app gives back the function keys which Microsoft took away the second you plugged your Apple keyboard into a PC.
I recently picked up the Wireless Apple Magic Keyboard in Space Grey (It's awesome) and I want to use it on my windows desktop. The only issue is, I can't get the special functions working. I've tried using SharpKeys to map the 'fn' key, but the 'fn' key isn't recognized at all.

I downloaded the latest (031-55710) BootCamp drivers and installed AppleKeyboardInstaller64.exe. I have added the 'United States (Apple) Keyboard' profile to the English under Settings>Languages. None of the function keys work. The 'fn' key is unrecognizable.
I've looked at this discussions thread, and couldn't figure out how to get it working. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8124911
