Windows 10 allows you to quickly sign in with a numeric PIN instead of a longer password. if you have a keyboard with a number pad, you can use that number pad to enter the PIN–after you enable Num Lock. Here’s how to enable Num Lock at boot so you don’t have to press the key every time.

This should be a lot easier to enable, or even be the default setting, considering Windows 10’s use of PINs. But shockingly, it isn’t.

You may have an option to enable “Num Lock at Boot” in your BIOS or UEFI settings screen to do this. However, we tried this and it just didn’t work, even when we disabled Fast Startup. So we found another way–it just takes a little more legwork.

This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops,and tablets running the Windows 10, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 7 operating systems. Works for all major computer manufactures (Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Lenovo, Samsung).
