This method will work on Windows and macOS.
Take a look at the right side of your keyboard, particularly the following keys: 7, 8, 9, U, I, O, J, K, L, M. Do you see smaller numbers printed on these keys? If so, you have a “soft” numeric keypad, which you can activate by using the Number Lock key. Some newer laptops don’t have a numeric keypad at all. If this is the case for you, you’ll need to try another method.
If your Num Lock key is shared with another key, such as Screen Lock, you may have to hold down the Fn key as you click it to activate Number Lock. To test that Number Lock is working, press the U key—if you see a 4 instead of a U, it’s working! If not, try pressing Num Lock again.
