Keyboard PREVIOUS, NEXT and PLAY/PAUSE keys - Precision 7770

I use my Precision to run my studio, among other things, and I need a quick way to PAUSE or NEXT audio/video streams. Both sales and 7770 technical documentation for the 7770 refer to PREVIOUS, NEXT and PLAY/PAUSE keys, but my 7770 keyboard doesn't have those keys.

Is there a way to change or create a keyboard shortcut to function as PAUSE, PREVIOUS and NEXT?

See attached pics/screenshots. Notice my keyboard doesn't have the PREVIOUS, NEXT or PLAY/PAUSE keys that I highlighted in red in the tech manual.  I'm wondering if maybe I got the wrong keyboard installed from the factory, since it has the Intel CORE i7 label, when my Precision clearly has a i9.

Here's a link to procedure for modifying function keys: https://www.dell.com/community/Inspiron/how-to-set-up-macro-key-for-play-and-pause/td-p/7836014.  Works for my Precision 7770 even tho the posting is for Inspiron system.

Dell tells me that keyboards are different depending upon the region you live in.

I still can't figure out why my Intel i9 laptop has a i7 sticker.
