Q: Touchpad not working
A: Install Synaptics or ELAN driver from Acer. Also check: Settings → Devices → Touchpad → ensure not disabled.

Q: Acer’s site doesn’t have Windows 10 drivers for my old ES 15
A: Try Windows 8.1 64-bit drivers – they often work. Or use Snappy Driver Installer Origin (open-source) as a last resort, but scan for safety.

Q: Does the Acer Aspire ES 15 support Windows 10 64-bit fully? A: Yes. Acer released Windows 10 64-bit drivers for all ES 15 variants. However, Windows 11 is not officially supported due to CPU generation limits.
