How to get my cursor to work on Acer laptop

Hello, thank you for using Howly. I’ll be happy to help you out! May I ask your name?

Customer Replay

*****

Nice to meet you, *****!
What troubleshooting have you done so far?

Customer Replay

None

Method 1: Enable with Your Keyboard
On most Acer laptops, you can press and hold the Fn key on your keyboard and then press either the F6 or F7 key. If you can't find the F6 or F7 key, it should show a small illustration of a hand touching a touchpad.
Try using your touchpad after using this key combination.
Please let me know when you're done with that.
