How to disable track pad

[Shadownover]

Hello,

I recently have repaired my laptop and have installed Windows 8.1 from the previous Windows 7, and I am wondering how to disable the rack pad when my mouse is plugged in. I have looked for how to do this and I have discovered that the "disable track pad" option is missing. Any help is greatly appreciated.

My settings in Elan:

does your laptop not have a disable mousepad function key?

well on a lot of laptops there is a little "Fn" key. If you hold this key and press one of the corresponding keys on the keyboard you can do different things on your laptop such as disable the trackpad, turn the wifi on and off, etc.

Here is a picture of what I'm talking about:
