Navigating using touch gestures,

pointing devices and the keyboard

Your computer allows navigation using touch gestures (select models only) in addition to the

keyboard and mouse. Touch gestures can be used on your computer TouchPad or on a touch screen

(select models only).

NOTE:

An external USB mouse (purchased separately) can be connected to one of the USB ports

on the computer.

Review the Windows 8 Basics guide included with your computer. The guide provides information on

common tasks using the TouchPad, touch screen, or the keyboard.

Select computer models have special action keys or hot key functions on the keyboard to perform

routine tasks.

Some computer models may also have an integrated numeric keypad.

The TouchPad allows you to navigate the computer with simple finger movements.

You can customize the touch gestures by changing settings, button configurations, click speed, and

pointer options. From the Start screen, type c to display the Apps list. Select Control Panel, and

then select Hardware and Sound. Under Devices and Printers, select Mouse.

Turning the TouchPad off or on

The TouchPad supports a variety of gestures that let your fingers scroll, swipe, pinch, and rotate to

manipulate items on the screen.
