How do you know which one is yours? To do this, click on the “mice and other pointing devices” section.
There you should see two branches. You need the bottom one. Right-click on it and select properties. Then in the top line, click on the equipment ID.
In my case it is ACPI\VEN_SYN&DEV_0A06. You should only be interested in the characters highlighted in red in this line just above.
For me it is SYN - this means that my laptop needs to download a driver from the touchpad manufacturer SYNAPTIC.
If you see PNP, then you have a touchpad from ALPS, and if ETD, then from ElANTECH. Below you will find links to drivers from these touchpad developers.
