Calcuator button configuration?

My Inspiron 5584 has a calculator button that I'd like to remap from the Windows Calculator to something else. Can that be done?

    replying for the bump. my coworker constantly hits the calc button instead of where the delete button was on alder laptop so he'd like to remap that to a delete button.

    Same here. I'd actually like to remap all 3 calculator keys. These can easily be remapped to other keys, but I'd like to map them to apps. Probably unlikely but I was hoping to at least change the calculator button, since that one already opens a program.

    You can use a keyboard mapper like Windows Power Toys to remap a key to another function https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/releases/

    This keyboard layout is absolutely horrible and stupid. There's a CE button that cannot be remaped because it's actually a duplicate of the delete key. If i remap it it changes both. Wouldn't it have been better to put "/CE" on the label of the delete key instead? Same problem for the +/- button. It's a duplicate of the F9 key. I don't need two F9 keys on the same laptop.

    Best bet is to delete or rename the calculator application - this will prevent it from popping up 10 instances before you figure out you hit the wrong key - an epic stupid human interface design fail.
