Windows 10: Disable Dell Inspiron touchscreen forever in boot menu

Hi there,I'm trying to wipe my old laptop's Dell Inspiron 5559 hard drive completely clean to sell it. I formatted the drive with a USB key but now can't install Windows... because the horrible touchscreen ghost touch, "clicking" all over the place on the screen came back on after formatting, which makes any kind of interaction with the system impossible.I found this post: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/deactivate-windows-10-touch-function-from-bios/f6057ee0-ddd9-4fb3-8918-98f3e61118f4...but in my laptop's BIOS, there is no option to activate or deactivate the touchs

Touchscreen monitor

Hi, I'm looking into buying a touchscreen monitor for use with a Dell Inspiron 660 desktop pc rnning Windows 8 in order to fully utilise the touchscreen facilities of Windows 8.
I'm preliminary looking at the Iiyama T2250MTS or T2452MTS touchscreen monitors. Anyone had experience of these, do they fully work under Windows 8?
Any other suggestions of monitors in the £200-£350 range?
Thanks
