Set trackpad options in Windows with Boot Camp on Mac
In Windows on an Intel-based Mac, you can set trackpad options that affect clicking, secondary clicking, dragging, and more. Depending on your trackpad, you see only some of these configuration options.
Support for Microsoft precision touchpad drivers in Windows is available for Mac computers with the Apple T2 Security Chip. If your Mac supports these drivers, you can set precision touchpad options using Windows; otherwise, you can set trackpad options using Boot Camp Control Panel. See the Apple Support article Mac models with the Apple T2 Security Chip.
Check if your Mac supports precision touchpad settings
In Windows on your Mac, click the Start menu, then choose Settings.
In the Settings window, click Devices, then click Touchpad.
If “Your PC has a precision touchpad” appears at the top of the Touchpad pane, you can set precision touchpad options using Windows.
If “Your PC has a precision touchpad” doesn’t appear at the top of the Touchpad pane, your Mac either doesn’t support the Microsoft precision touchpad drivers, or you don’t have the latest Boot Camp support software installed. Use Boot Camp Control Panel to set the trackpad options instead.
To learn how to install the latest Boot Camp support software, see Update Apple software in Windows using Boot Camp on Mac.
