How do I scroll on my laptop?

I noticed on my old laptop, which I am pretty sure is from 2008, that you can't scroll with the right side of the touchpad like you normally should be able to on Windows 10. basically Windows 10's lack of support for it since it's old even though outside of that Windows 10 works fine on my old laptop which is a backup computer for me.

but if you use your laptop quite a bit I suggest just plugging a real mouse into it as it's so much faster/more efficient using your computer than the touchpad as that slows me down as it's okay if I am doing something basic but if I plan on doing much on it, ill just connect a mouse to it.

but like Admin said... arrow keys etc should work.

p.s. but scrolling with the right side of the touchpad does work with Linux Mint as that supports it and that's what I got on my old laptop as it's good for a general internet machine and basic usage. but since you don't seem to know much about tech, I suspect installing Linux Mint instead of Windows will probably be somewhat like hieroglyphics to you.

Using a mouse is the most convenient of options. But if you don't want to use a mouse or the keyboard, you can use the touchpad to move the cursor on to the vertical scrollbar at the right end of your screen. Place the cursor on the up arrow button and tap the touchpad or press the left touchpad button to scroll up. To scroll down use the down arrow button at the bottom of your screeen. This looks longwinded but is actually easy in practice. But like I said, the easiest way is to use a mouse.

they're called keys, not buttons.  buttons are on a woman's blouse.

And yet somehow you knew what I was talking about.

What do you call the thing you push to call an elevator?

buttons are on many things.
