How To Activate 2 Finger Scroll in Windows 8/8.1 Laptops

Many times you don’t have to worry about this. In most cases, the multi-finger scroll is already enabled, or gets enabled as soon as you install the touchpad driver on the laptop. In case, if the 2 finger scroll is not enabled in your computer, you must ensure the following points before proceeding:

[listNum]■Check if the touchpad is not broken and is working fine without any hardware faults.
■Check if the operating system that is installed on the laptop supports the multi-finger gestures.
■Check if the latest touchpad driver is installed on the computer.
■Make sure that the touchpad is clean from dust or moist.

Once all the above points have been successfully verified, it is now time to enable the 2 finger scroll for your Windows 8/Windows 8.1 laptop from within the operating system itself. It is recommended, sometimes mandatory, that you use an administrator account while enabling the 2 finger scroll on the computer. Also, it is noteworthy that the multi-finger gestures can be enabled only on the devices that have touchscreen, or the laptops that have touchpads in them.

Here’s how you can enable the 2 finger scroll for your Windows 8/Windows 8.1 laptop:
