Virtually all shipshape and Bristol fashion now.

One little thing is puzzling me.
My original mouse is a wireless Microsoft Optical Mouse 2.0 which worked perfectly well.
The new PC came with a bog standard Microsoft wireless mouse & keyboard, they are as much use as a chocolate teapot, no matter what I tried the mouse was patchy and the keyboard completely unusable.
I have installed my MS Optical Mouse 2.0 and my old plug in keyboard and they work fine.
However when I power down the PC the keyboard 'Num Lock' light stays on all the time ?
Is this a feature of some motherboards and is it just there as an indication the PC is still connected to the mains.
