No Insert key on my laptop keyboard

Need Insert for a shortcut in an old program but this keyboard doesn't have the key. Is there an Fn combo or on-screen keyboard way to send it?

Open the on-screen keyboard (search osk), it has an Ins key and the old program will accept it. Before that, look at the keycaps for a tiny Ins printed on the Delete, PrtSc or 0 key, if it's there Fn plus that key sends Insert. Longer term, PowerToys Keyboard Manager lets you map any key you never use, right ctrl say, to Insert, and it survives reboots.
