the touchpad seems to be defective and is jumping all over the place i need a way to disable it from the bios as i use a vm and dont have access to disable hardware...there doesnt seem to be an F key to do this either, hoping i can avoid taking the pc apart and repairing issue or unplugging touchpad

Thank You, but i am using a VM (VMWARE remote desktop) and dont have access to those options, i can easily disable the touchpad on my local machine but using a remote desktop my mouse jumps around regardless of the fact i use a USB mouse and do not touch the touchpad if it cannot be done through bios it looks like i have to open up laptop and unplug touchpad....

You can always disable the touchpad in the VMWARE settings

If your saying the mouse is lagging or jumping try downloading VMWARE TOOLS
Do this by going in up the top VM, Install VMWARE Tools
This is how I stopped the mouse lagging on my Windows 10 vm
Hopefully this helps

thank you for trying to help but as i have said i have limited access on the remote desktop hardware settings and i do not have any 'toolbar' at the top of the corporate VM, even if i did i do not have permissions to install software as you suggested as this is a corporate Virtual desktop i am accessing, this is why i am attempting to disable the touchpad before windows launches.....
