Although this is for a different version of Dell Laptop it took me ages to find the solution so thought I would share, as this post came up high on my google search.
On my laptop XPS 15 9550 I had to press the fn key and the f key for example to refresh a page was fn + F5. Annoying.. to rectify the problem I looked in the BIOS as explained on this post but the option did not exist.
SOLUTION Instead I needed to press «Fn + Esc» this locks the function key. now pressing F5 refreshed the screen
