These pages describe many issues, including how to use a one-liner (e.g., with NirCmd, which already handles this in a single command), and why trying to use Fn usually will not work (but you could assign a regular F function key).

You're right, a boatload of pages, discussions, and scripts are available for this. How do I do that? What's the script for Up, what's the script for Down? I'm finding a bunch of complex scripts that seem to be designed to dim the monitor to a very specific level, or other complex scripts that don't tell me whether they're turning the brightness up or down or what. Like I say, I try to Google the scripts for these simple operations, and I'm just not finding them. Etc., all the way to a maximum brightness. Press it enough times, the screen would be completely dark. Press the Brightness Down key, things got dimmer. Now, F6 and 7 used to be incremental brightness controls. So far I've got F1-3 remapped to Browser Back, Forward, and Refresh, and F8-10 remapped to Volume Mute, Down, and Up.

I'm just trying to turn the keys, at least most of them, back into what they were. When I installed Windows 10, the keys went back to being standard F keys, and they don't even have the F key labels. The row of F keys was mapped to a specific set of controls. All I want is a basic function to turn my laptop brightness up or down incrementally, the same as I can do with volume via Volume_Up/Volume_Down. I've tried Googling this, but everything I find seems to be a complex script that doesn't actually tell me how to do what I want.
