Here is a link to the keyboard removal/installation instructions from Dell's service manual
Whenever touching components or working inside a computer, wear a grounded wrist strap, also called anti-static wrist strap, ESD wrist strap, or ground bracelet. I know many people do such work without this, but it's a cheap and sensible precaution.

Thank you. Actually, I am looking for replacing or installing one key and not the whole keyboard. The "F" and "1" keys on my laptop were removed by my child and now I don't know how to install them back. I am looking for any video or instructions to replace/install just one key on my Keyboard Key Dell XPS 13 7390 2 in 1. I checked many online videos and guides but the keys on my Keyboard Key Dell XPS 13 7390 2 in 1 are very different and I couldn't find any guide.
Thanks

The answer depends on whether it's just the cap that popped off, or whether the mount is broken. If the former, the keycap should pop right back on. If it doesn't, you need a replacement keyboard.

Center the keycap over the hole and push down gently. Any more than that and there's something else wrong -- could be a broken tab or clip, but if the key doesn't seat down, you will need to replace the keyboard.
