Instead of relying on the physical keyboard to type and enter data, you can use On-Screen Keyboard. On-Screen Keyboard displays a visual keyboard with all the standard keys.
You can select keys using the mouse or another pointing device, or you can use a single key or group of keys to cycle through the keys on the screen. In hovering mode, you use a mouse or joystick to point to a key for a predefined period of time, and the selected character is typed automatically.
To access the on-screen keyboard, you can take a few different routes. You can also turn the on-screen keyboard on or off from anywhere with the same keyboard shortcut. When the on-screen keyboard first appears, there will be no number pad. You'll need to click the Options button in the lower-right corner, and then check Turn on numeric key pad. Click OK when you're done.
Now, whenever you need to type a number from the numpad, just click it on the on-screen keyboard. If you select the Hover over keys option, you can also simply hover your cursor over a key in place of a mouse click.
By adjusting the hover duration, you can also customize the time it takes before it registers as a press. If you strictly want to use an in-built keyboard but need to save screen space, you can shrink down the keyboard to mostly focus on the numpad.
For a more specialized and space-saving option, you can download a numpad emulator. While there are many options, you want a virtual numpad with the specifications that fit your needs. Numpad Emulator offers a variety of options including the ability to scale the button-size, change what keys appear on the numpad, and place special symbols using alt codes without an actual numpad.
If you don't need any customizations, the virtual numpad works just as smoothly as Windows' on-screen keyboard. Download: Numpad Emulator Free.

Many laptops address the lack of a number pad by including a hidden numpad activated by the NumLock key.
The numbers will usually be highlighted in a color different than that of the regular keys usually gray or blue. If you're trying to locate them, they often share the 7, 8, and 9 keys in the top number row. After locating it, look for the Fn or Alt key. If either the Fn or Alt key's color matches the alternate numbers, press it in conjunction with the number lock key.
You can tell you've succeeded by the number lock key lighting on or off. Now, the alternate color keys will function as the numpad for your laptop. Just remember to turn number lock off afterward using the same key combination. There are a few app options that let you use your iPhone or iPad as a numpad emulator but not many feature direct Windows support. While the iOS app does cost a small amount, it's still cheaper and saves more space than an external numpad. If you want a built-in solution that doesn't require an on-screen keyboard or a laptop, AutoHotKey is a great solution.
If you're not familiar with the app, check out our quick AutoHotkey guide for beginners. In Windows 11, you can access the virtual keyboard icon in any environment.
