Just got a new laptop - the Dell Inspiron 15 7000 7548 series with an i7 5500u, 8gb ram, and the radeon r7 m270
Trying to compile all the drivers for it so that I can remove the factory OS and install a clean 8.1 Pro and do all my system imaging and stuff for it. But I just cannot find the touchpad driver. It does not exist on Dell's driver page for this laptop (tried both the normal site and the FTP link given by someone on here in the OEM drivers thread)
So the next logical step I thought, still having the factory OS installed, just check device manager. And under "human interface devices" I see "HID compliant touch pad" and under the properties I see that its using the Microsoft default driver dated sometime in 2006 (!) ... Is it using the default driver because this touchpad is one of those ones engineered with the help of MS? Their "precision" touchpads I believe they are called. Either way it works brilliantly, really good sensitivity, muiltitouch, etc. I just want to make sure when I wipe out the factory install it will work likewise (I of course have taken an image of the factory drive before even booting the machine up for the first time so I can restore)
Screenshot of device manager attached...
Cheers
