Hi, 

Aspire Switch 10 notebook.

I have upgraded to windows 10 and now my keyboard and touch pad dont work!  Any help would be appreciated.  I cannot seem to find any driver or other updates.

    Remove the drivers, do a restart, and let Windows 10 install the drivers.

    Acer-Justing,

     

    I have the same problem on SW5-011 (Aspire switch 10) -- After upgrade to Win-10 the touchpad and keyboard no longer work.

     

    Can you be more specific and provide more details for simple people -- What spcific drives to remove and how?

    I don't see any Win-10 drivers for my system on the ACER download site.

     

    More info:  

    I can connect external Mouse or keyboard to the USB port and they work -- but the touchpad and builtin keyboard do not work (Already applied the bios patch etc.).

    No knowing better -- I thought it is a bad keyboard (odd, gone bad after win-10 update?), I got a new keyboard -- same problem.

     

    Please help.

    I have made several machines functional by just forcing the latest Acer Win 8 or even Win 7 drivers that worked. Some have used HP or Dell drivers but I have never needed those. See my DPTF post on how to force.

    I understand your comments.  Though, the one relevant item on ACER download site for my system, SW5-011, is

    "IO Drivers Intel Serial IO Driver 603.9600.1948.28229" which is listed for Win-8.1 32bits -- But, when you expand it, it states it is 64bits -- and when you try to force install it the OS also reports an error as it being for 64bits (the SW5-011 is running 32bits os).

     

    Seems that ACER posted the wrong file.

     

    The Aspire Switch 10 is a nice system, at least for my needs, but without the keyboard/touchpad it is useless, it is just another tablet.
