hey everyone it's Ken here from Northern Viking Everyday if you are new here we bring you videos
on reviews and how to's so make sure you click that subscribe button so you don't
miss out on any upcoming videos today we're gonna be showing you how to enable and disable
your touchpad only using the keyboard on your laptop and as i mentioned i've got three different
laptops here they're all slightly different i've got a lenovo i've got an older samsung and
an older hp all running windows and you should be able to figure it out for your laptop using
what i'm going to show you today now if you don't want to use the keyboard to do this i will create
another video it'll probably be the next video that comes out on how to do this in the settings
so watch for that video if what i'm showing you today doesn't work but let's jump on over to my
computers or my laptops i should say and show you exactly how this is done alright so here we are on
my lenovo laptop the touchpad is currently working perfectly and the first thing we need to look for
is our function keys here at the top of our keyboard i've got f1 all the way through f12 and
if i take a closer look i'm gonna see all sorts of little icons at the bottom of these and those are
different functions that you can do here as well but in order to access those functions
on this computer i have to hold down the function key the fn key right here and i can access any of
these so if i look closer you're gonna see f6 actually has a little logo of your touchpad
with a line through it crossing it out so if i go ahead and hold down the function key and f6 all of
a sudden my touchpad stops working which is super handy maybe i'm writing an essay and my cursor is
jumping all over the place and i need to turn that off now let's go ahead and turn it back on
the same thing function f6 and all of a sudden it starts working again now it's going to be slightly
different as i mentioned on the samsung and the hp so let's jump on over to those and show you how
to do it there as well so over here on the samsung laptop again the touchpad is working and if i have
a look at the function keys again it's different this time you can see that f5 actually has an x
through the touchpad so again we're going to hold down the function key hit f5 this time and all of
a sudden the touchpad is going to stop working and again function f5 and again it is up and running
let's jump on over to the hp which is probably the most different out of these three laptops
all right so here we are on the hp laptop if i have a look here on the function keys on
this laptop specifically i'm not going to see any touchpad logos here now your hp might have one and
again you could do the function and that option if you do on this laptop actually i have a dedicated
button right here so look around on your laptop you might have a dedicated button that just turns
the touchpad on and off so if i click on that all of a sudden my touchpad stops working and i could
click on it again and it'll start working and it's that simple for all these laptops to turn your
touchpad on and off so hope this tutorial was able to help you out in enabling and disabling your
touchpad on your windows laptop using the keyboard if it did make sure to give this video a thumbs up
and also remember the next video i am creating is how to enable and disable the touchpad using
the windows settings not the keyboard watch for that video i'll put it in the cards here at the
end so you can easily find it thank you so much for watching today and until next time take care
