Windows 10: Hello

Hello. My name is I'm 83. I started in computers back in the 60's and have always had a computer. I got most of my knowledge from hands on and some schooling. I learned enough to get in a lot of trouble but always got myself out. I live in a retirement village and there are not very many people to get information from. I use YouTube a lot but don't always find what I need. I would like to tap the resources of this site to help me get myself out of trouble. I haven't tried to resolve my touchpad issue here, but on my own I did find a short cut to resolve the issue.
Thank you for excepting me into your community.

:)
