Windows Touch Keyboard


NMU-issued Lenovo Twist computers and some of the T460s computers have touch screens. In addition to touching your screen to click, drag, and select items, you can use the built-in touch keyboard in Windows 8, 8.1, and 10 to type using your screen rather than keyboard. You can also use this as an on-screen keyboard and click it with your mouse pointer (even if you do not have a touch screen). To use the touch keyboard, follow the instructions below.
