Mac Keyboard

How do you make the number pad on a Mac keyboard work on Windows? The numbers below the function keys work, but I like using the number pad better.

If it is a full keyboard, you can use the Clear Key to toggle Number Keypad. It is also the "=" key on the right-hand side.

magic 2 keyboard number pad does not work on windows programs I have a 27in iMac running High Sierra also running Parallels with Windows 10. I just purchased a 10 key Apple Magic 2 keyboard and when I are running certain Windows programs, such as Quicken or a Tax Preparation software the 10 key doesn't allow me to input numbers. It is like the numbers lock key is off but there is no numbers lock key available on this key pad. Anyone have any ideas how to change the settings to get the key function work. It does already work in Apple programs.
