The scroll lock key is located usually on the keyboard, mainly somewhere on the top or lower right.

Original Answer: (from wikipedia)

The Scroll Lock key was meant to lock all scrolling techniques, and is a remnant from the original IBM PC keyboard, though it is not used by most modern-day software. In the original design, Scroll Lock was intended to modify the behavior of the arrow keys. When the Scroll Lock mode was on, the arrow keys would scroll the contents of a text window instead of moving the cursor. In this usage, Scroll Lock is a toggling lock key like Num Lock or Caps Lock, which have a state that persists after the key is released.

How do you deactivate number lock on dell?

To deactivate the number lock (Num Lock) on a Dell laptop, you can typically press the "Num Lock" key, which may be labeled as "Num Lk" or similar, found on the keyboard. If your laptop does not have a dedicated Num Lock key, you may need to use a combination of the "Fn" key and another key that has the Num Lock function (often indicated by a small icon). Additionally, you can access the BIOS settings during startup (by pressing F2) to change the Num Lock setting to be off on boot.
