Windows 10: How to use external usb keypad on laptop to enter special chars?

Hi all,With a normal keyboard, we can use Alt+Numpad to enter special characters. Unfortunately my laptop does not have a keypad, nor does it have an option to use other keys for this purpose. Using the normal number keys also does not work. I bought a USB numpad expecting it to allow the Alt+Numpad keys to work, but they do not. The keypad does work for normal numbers, so it's not an issue with the device or the usb port.I have tried Alt+Numpad, Alt+Fn+Numpad, and I have added the below reg value as per a previously closed discussion to no avail.Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Input

external keyboard to msi laptop without num keypad

Hello folks, I plan to add an external keyboard, with numeric keypad, to my msi-laptop. This laptop came without the usual numeric keys to the right of the keyboard. Question: if the external (usb) keyboard has numeric keys, which I suppose will be the case, will these numeric keys be rocognized by the laptop? I see no reason why not, but I wish to play it safe and ask before. I run MSFS,which has a lot of keyboard assignments. Can I assign numeric keys from my external keyboard? well, I suppose it will depend on, whether the MSFS programme will recognize my external keyboard, so this question will be open until my setup is completed and I launch the game.

I also have to install a second monitor. Does win10 home, ver 1909, come with software to set up the second monitor? I have read about cases where external software was required. no more questions, and thanks.
