No touchpad back button gesture??

[LaCalia]

Hey guys, I just upgraded to an Acer Swift 3 with Win10, my last was a Lenovo ThinkPad with Win7

There was a three finger swipe back/forward gesture that acted like a back button in browser in W7

Now the only option for this is virtual desktops or switching apps... Which I have no use for...

Is there a workaround for this? I can't stand clicking the back button with the mouse.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for reading!

download and install synaptic touchpad and you can customize all the gestures you want.

Also, the backspace key on your keyboard when in a web browser makes it go back a page.

Cool, thanks! How can I find out which of the drivers I need?

Type properties into the search bar in Win10 and see if anything come up. Look for a trackpad or mouse properties app. As for the synaptics driver, you could try the I2C driver. I honestly am a expert on dell and lenovo, not really acer.

Found it in device manager, it's I2C. I downloaded it and ran the setup, now what?

Wait, try going to Control panel > Hardware and sound > Under devices and printers, there should be a mouse option. Click that.

I'm afraid not, no such 'mouse' option for me.

once synaptic has been installed you should see it in the task bar in the pop up arrow on the right near the time and date.
If not then open the start menu and search for Synaptic and run the program.
Once inside you can start changing stuff around.

It's not in the task bar, nor can I find it by searching, or in the start menu application list.
