    I'm running Parallels 10.2 on the latest OSX Yosemite with a Windows 8.1 guest on a MacBook Pro with a USB extended Apple keyboard attached. I am trying to figure out how to use the F13-F19 keys on the Apple keyboard. All I want to do is map them to something Windows understands in the Parallels VM preferences, say F13->INSERT. The problem is that nothing happens there is just no response. Even though the Parallels prefs allow me to map the keys, Windows never seems to get the mapped values, or anything else for that matter. I did figure out that the "clear" key enabled numlock in Windows, and that works OK. Its just the extra function keys that seem to do nothing.

    Has anyone seen / solved this?

    Thanks!
