Using the touchpad on your HP Elitebook is straightforward, allowing you to navigate your computer screen easily with just your fingers.
Basic Touchpad Navigation
The touchpad serves as a substitute for a traditional mouse, letting you move the cursor and perform actions like clicking, scrolling, and selecting items directly from your laptop's surface.
Performing Clicks
Clicking is one of the most fundamental actions on a computer, used to select items, open programs, or interact with elements on the screen. On an HP Elitebook touchpad, you can perform both left-clicks and right-clicks.
Based on touchpad usage guidelines:
- To left-click, you can either tap anywhere on the touchpad, or press the bottom left corner. This is the primary action for selecting items.
- To right-click, press the bottom right corner of the touchpad. This action typically brings up a context menu with additional options for the selected item or area.
Here's a simple breakdown:
| Action | Method 1 | Method 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Left-Click | Tap anywhere | Press bottom left corner |
| Right-Click | --- | Press bottom right corner |
Mastering these basic clicking techniques will allow you to effectively interact with your HP Elitebook's operating system and applications.
