    Purchased this refurbishing laptop on eBay, running Win10.

    When I got it the Synaptics driver was a really old version... with no Scrolling section in the driver app at all. Updated it to the latest version off the Getac website (supposedly for Win7) hoping that would get back the Scrolling section that my ThinkPad T430 has. Well, unfortunately the only subsection to that is One Finger Scrolling, with no Two Finger Scrolling page like my ThinkPad.

    My device is a "Synaptics TouchPad V6.2 on PS/2 Port 1" and driver version is 15.1.6.0 from 7/29/10.

    Is there any way I can get this feature? It's very important to me. I have no problem going down to Windows 7 if I need to, although I'd prefer to stick to 10.

    I decided to put in a spare 500GB SSD I had floating around instead of the 128GB one that came with the laptop and so I did go back to Windows 7 anyway. The latest driver from the Getac website brought a Scrolling section to the Synaptics driver, however it only had one-finger scrolling. I uninstalled that and installed the driver you linked and while it seemed to install successfully there is no two-finger scrolling section and two-finger scrolling does not work. Any further ideas?
