I used SharpKeys from the microsoft app store, really simple to use. The new keyboard was a clone and one of the LEDS went orange so I got another keyboard. Only issue was that it was attached to another 7520 🤣 So now I have two. I really must stay away from ebay (well, maybe after I list the other laptops...)

Bit late to the party but I scored a 7520 for not much money on ebay. Came with a standard 2.5" 256GB ssd and just 8GB RAM but it is the i7-7820HQ processor. Even came with the correct power supply. Upgrades done since: Added 32GB RAM (16GB x 2) Stuck in a 500GB NVMe drive as the boot drive and a 2.5" 1000GB (both WD Blue) Installed Win11 (with the help of Rufus) Swapped out the keyboard for a backlit one (remapped two media keys for the Home/End issue) Ordered a further 32GB of RAM Cost so far (aside from the 7520 itself) is a shade over £50 so all in I'm in for about £215. There's definite upsides to hoarding 😄
