I am using Windows 8 (or 8.1) and I need the NumLock key so I can enter Alt codes. But the problem is that there isn't even a NumLock key, even though I looked at the keyboard.

This is a Samsung laptop and the model is 700T Notebook XE700T1C. Here is an image of my keyboard:

You may create a shortcut on the desktop to toggle NumLock on and off.

Create a .vbs file containing the following text:

set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.SendKeys "{NUMLOCK}"

Create a shortcut iconfor the script on the desktop.

You may now double-click the icon to toggle the NumLock state.

You may also right-click the icon and chooseProperties to assign it a shortcut key.
