supports multi-touch screen.
To open On-Screen Keyboard, do the following:
• For Windows 7: Click the Start button. Then, type On-Screen Keyboard into the search field. In the list of
results, click On-Screen Keyboard.
• For Windows 8.1: Click the Search icon on the top-right corner of the Start screen and then type
On-Screen Keyboard into the displayed search box. If you are using a keyboard, you can just start typing
on the Start screen and then the search box and search results are displayed automatically. In the list of
results, click On-Screen Keyboard.
