Windows 10: pointer settings

i am trying to change the size and color of my mouse pointer on windows 10. i'm going to Settings>Mouse>Adjust Mouse & Curosr size. I only see black and white- not the color wheel that my co-worker does. Also, when i go to "Addiional Mouse Settings" I don't have the same pointer options. They see a BUTTONS tab and i see a TOUCHPAD tab.

:)

Pointers

Points are simply a value (address) that "points" to a value. It has no extra information about what it is pointing to (hence the danger). When using arrays/indexers, the operating system knows this is a collection that is this long and is of this type. Any operation that steps outside of those constraints is caught and handled. On the other hand, if a pointer so much as points to the wrong address, all the values will subsequently be wrong.

Pointers are faster but more risky.
