I have an HP 5187 Keyboard that has multimedia buttons across the top of it. HP does not have software available for this keyboard for Windows 10.

The keys are as follows:


Sleep, Search, +HP Club, Internet, ?Info, E-Mail, Eject1, Eject2, Burn CD/DVD, <<Prev, Play/Pause, Next>>, Stop, Volume down, Volume Up, Mute.


I want to assign the eject buttons to Eject DVD drive 1 and DVD Drive 2 respectively. and assign the e-mail button to go to my Hotmail account.
