Default Mac keyboard on a PC

Sorry to wander off topic but I am trying to use my Mac bluetooth keyboard on my PC as well & cannot get the delete key to do anything but delete to the left of the cursor. Would like it to just delete in place if possible. Seems pointless having a second small del key above the main one, as that also does nothing on PC.

Nothing I could find on Mac related sites, either.

When using Windows with Bootcamp on a MacBook it's usually hitting a key combination (like FN function-key + Delete) to make it do more. But this might probably be (Bootcamp) driver related ...
So maybe it's a Windows driver 'issue' in general?

You might find some hints here:
