Wemos D1 R2 duplicate pins

Hello, I have a Wemos D1 R2 board with integrated wifi and recently when I went to assemble the connection table for my project I noticed that of the 11 digital pins, 5 of them have the same name as the previous ones, as shown in the image below:

I would like to know if there is any way to differentiate the pins in programming? Because for my project I need 10 digital pins to be receiving different commands.

*Important:
I'm using two different colored LEDs connected to pins D5 and SCK/D5 for testing, so I can quickly test the suggestions given in the knowledge base of other components.

My attempts:
Using Arduino Uno R3 SMD numbering: The leds did not turn on.
Search the GPIO numbering of the pins, but as shown in the table below, both contain the same naming:

There is no way to defirent them they are connected together with PCB traces and go to one pin of the ESP8266. You can use an I/O expansion part such as the PCF8574 or the many others that are available. That one will give you 8 I/O and requires only 2 connections to the WeMos. You can add up to 15 more giving you 128 I/O pins. Note there is the PCF8574 and the PCF8574A they have a different base address so you get to use 2x8 of them. For me it is a nice board and has a bit of extra on the 5V.
