    I have a new HP laptop with 8.1, and 'fn' and 'end' works fine for me.
    This is worth a try I think.

    On some laptops you need to press the Fn key together with a key such as Home or End to get the 'normal' function of that key.

    If Fn+End works when you try it, then there may be a way to switch it over in the BIOS so you didn't need it.
  • Poppasmurf_bewdley and Jivesinger, THANK YOU!

    Fn + Home/End works. Phew!

    Thanks again to everyone for your suggestions, greatly appreciated, and I'm so happy that I got there in the end.
