Windows 10: How do I get the sound volume icon onto my task bar.

I was having problems controlling external speakers on my computer. I went to a product forum and they suggested I can control the volume with the computer volume control. I cannot seem to get the volume control icon to stay in my task bar. Any hints as how to get it there? I am running MS Windows 10 64bit. Thank You.
