  1. I can't use the touchpad and I don't have synaptics installed


    As stated in the subject of the question I don't have the ability to use the touchpad. I went through the device manager to look for the driver for the touchpad but unfortunately, as seen here, I can't find it

    I have seen that there are drivers like synaptics that come pre-installed. However I previously had this laptop repaired and something maybe happened that resulted in the driver not showing up when it got back. I have been using a USB mouse in the mean time. Here is all the information for this PC if needed:
