    Do you have the drag/stick function? Lost that when I jumped from Windows 7 to 10

    I miss the "drag lock" that was present in Windows 7. And today my brother got his new 7510, and it was running Dell touchpad v10.1207.101.113. The software once again had the drag lock - though no three finger swipe forward/backwards, but that should be fixable.

    Does anyone have a download link, If not I'll try and extrack the Windows 10 driver pack for the 5510.

    I'm hoping the trackpad will improve even more with updated drivers. Mine is sometime flimsy.

    7510 and 5510 touchpads are quite different, the driver from the 7510 will not work on the 5510. I believe the 7510 is Alps and the 5510 is Synaptics (but don't quote me on that).

    You'll have the best luck trying to get the Windows 7 driver for the 5510 running on Windows 10, it will have its own control panel / settings app with some different options. It technically "should" work but there is probably code in the installer to prevent it from installing on Windows 10.

    Hi Aaron
    I'm already using the latest Windows 7 driver, but had hoped for a new verified Windows 10 version.

    I can't find much on the Synaptics I2C driver in regards on settings and other screenshots.

    Maybe I'm better of keeping the current driver, but one always wants the best trackpad experience possible.
