First, head back to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Mouse > Pointer Options. At the bottom of the window, enable the "Show Location of Pointer When I Press the CTRL Key" checkbox and then click "Apply." Now any time you press the Ctrl key, Windows shows you the pointer's location.

In the search box on your task bar, search for Mouse, and select it from the list. Once you're in Mouse settings, select Additional mouse options from the links on the right side of the page. In Mouse Properties, on the Pointer Options tab, at the bottom, select Show location of pointer when I press the CTRL key, and then select OK.

Press the Windows key, type Change the mouse pointer display or speed in the Windows search box, and press Enter. Tip In Windows 8, typing anywhere on the Start Screen brings up the search box automatically. In the Mouse Properties window that appears, click the Pointers tab.

Use the on-screen touchpad to control the mouse pointer with your touchscreen. Press and hold (or right-click) the taskbar, and then select Taskbar settings. Under Taskbar corner icons, set Virtual touchpad to On. Select the touchpad button on the taskbar.
