I have this
Dell Dual USB/PS2 Keyboard with built-in Touchpad Mouse P/N 0TH827,
but it doesn't have an Insert key.

Is there another way to press the Insert key?

The 0 key at the bottom of the numpad on the upper-right of your keyboard will function as an Insert key when Num Lock is turned off. That is why it is labeled with both 0 and Ins on the key itself.

Note that the Shift key acts as a temporary toggle on the Num Lock state when you press one of the keypad keys (just like Shift acts as a toggle on Caps Lock for letters). Therefore, when Num Lock is on, pressing Shift+Numpad-0 will act as Insert.
