Identify the corresponding keys on the keyboard. Windows 10 PCs allow us to adjust the brightness using hotkeys on the keyboard. These hotkeys are represented by two different sun symbols: used to increase and decrease the brightness. ^{[1] X Research Source} You need to find these two keys to get started.

These hotkeys are different on each computer. In general, they are usually distinguished by the symbol of the filled (decreased) and unfilled (increasing) sun, or the sun with its rays represented by dots (decreased) and the sun with rays represented by straight line (increase).
Also, don’t forget to look for the up/down arrows or the plus/minus sign indicating the increase/decrease in brightness.
Hotkeys are shared with different buttons on the keyboard. Check for the left and right arrow keys or the function keys (F1, F2, and so on) along the top of the keyboard.

Hold down the “Fn” key on the keyboard. The dimmable hotkeys are not the primary function of the key they incorporate. Therefore, you will need to hold down the Fn key at the same time to adjust the screen brightness. ^{[2] X Research Source}
