Apple - How can I right click on a Mac using only the trackpad in a dual-boot environment?
If you have a MacBook Air you can "right-click" by placing two fingers on your trackpad and clicking with one of them. Of course this work when you are using OS X.
You can configure this option (if it isn't already configured) by going to Settings > Trackpad > Secondary click
If you are using Windows with Boot Camp instead, you should install the additional driver provided by Apple. They should allow you to right-click in the same way you do it on OS X.
With the new Boot Camp you'll need to enable this feature. By default right clicking is actually disabled. You'll find it under Control Panel ==> System and Security ==> Boot Camp ==> Track pad. I use the bottom right corner of the trackpad, but you'll find a good variety of options in there.
After installing Windows in an early 2008 MacBook Pro, I could not do a right click with the Trackpad. I did the following:
- Downloaded Bootcamp 4.0.425
- Extracted the files
- Looked inside the folder Drivers > Apple > x64
- Double-clicked on AppleTrackpadInstaller64.
That installed the correct Trackpad driver. I just finished setting up windows 10 on a early 2008 Macbook Pro. But first I downloaded and installed Bootcamp 6.x.x.
