You should be able to assign the NUM LOCK status in your computer's BIOS. Seems every manufacturer has a different key combination to enter the BIOS, but most common keys used include DEL, ESC, or F2. Usually you press the key before your computer gets to the part of the boot up process where you first see Windows and Mircosoft screens. Of course, be very careful what you do in your BIOS; changes here could potentially disable your computer. And of course, your BIOS may not even have a setting for NUM LOCK.
More information from you could help us help you in greater detail.
Good luck,
