Once Win7 dies on my laptop (or I want to upgrade to a new HDD/SSD), I want to install LL. How would I get the touchpad to work?
Laptop installation?

Hi,
On a previous Laptop, Pavillion(HP) and Current HP-TS15 and my daughters Sony Vaio, the touch-pads just worked out-of-the-box.
Try a live boot and see how it works, nothing to loose.

All I own are laptops, HP, Toshiba, and Lenovo and the touchpads have worked "out of the box"...

I'm always worried that a live boot will somehow install LL and delete Win7. I would have tried that long ago but I have some programs that just work better with Windows so I want to keep that for a while yet.

Good to know that the touchpads seem to work out of the box. My laptop is an HP.

Hi,
I have never encountered any issues with Live Boot doing anything to installed OS.
When I finally made a move to LL.
I made a clone/image of my WinXP that runs in Virtualbox, so I have it, just in case.
Here's what I did: https://dfgkh547-jsdfv8.iyhkj.tk/forums/on-to...0/#msg5660
Depending on how your Windows 7 disk(s) are set-up, this should work for non-efi/gpt set-ups.
