Touchpad not functioning following upgrade to windows 10

Following my recent upgrade to Windows 10 from Windows 8, the touchpad on my HP Envy dv7 laptop stopped working. If I go into the device and hardware folder in settings, there is no option for touchpad available. It is as if the touchpad does not exist.
I am able to use an attached mouse to navigate, but would like to have a functioning touchpad. Any suggestions?
