Windows 10: mousepad not working after windows 10 install

Hi.

i have just installed Windows 10 pro 64 bit to an acer aspire E15 laptop (it had Windows 8.1). now the mouse pad doesnt work. ive re downloaded the drivers and installed to no avail, and it also seems to be different (it has the cortana search bar which disappeared on my main system quite some time ago, but i digress) despite being the same OS, which should be irrelevant.

How do i get the mousepad working as its not my own laptop, im just doing the upgrade! all help greatfully accepted, before i have to take it to someone else to get the issue sorted. im trying to learn about such things as i go (im sure we ALL had to learn somehow).

Thanks

:)

Installing Windows 10 using Windows 7 key

Nope, you need to install Windows 10 first and make sure the Windows 7 key is transferred to your Windows account after you've installed Windows 10 (not quite sure how that works). I missed the last step and I could not activate Windows 10 after a re-install... Microsoft seem to have done everything they can to make it a PITA. Also, it's technically too late to do this now anyhow, as the upgrade offer has expired. But KMSPico works quite well...

As for getting rid of Windows, delete the Windows folder.
