The method I’m going to share is the easiest one for computers and laptops. You will need to process with the keyboard, of course.
First, go to the icon that looks like the sun. It is the brightness icon on the keyboard. And, on the keyboard, you will find it on the F1 or F2 buttons. These buttons control the brightness.
So, once you find the icon, press the F2 key until you get the desired brightness. On one key, you will see the negative sign (-) with the sun icon, which means decreasing brightness.

See how easy it is! But that’s not all. The icon will differ on function keys varying on the keyboards. So, on my keyboard, the icon is located on F5 and F6 keys. (Just telling you in case you get confused. )
