Solved Touchscreen Not Working With Windows 7.

  • 1

Hello,
I have a Dell inspiron 7737 with a touchscreen and the laptop came with a windows 8 pre-installed which i updated to windows 10 already. I am dual booting it with windows 7 because i like that operating system but the only problem is have i when ever i boot up my windows 7, touchscreen stops working and i thing it’s a driver issue. I have tried finding drivers for it with no luck otherwise every other hardware works.

Here is the link just for the system specification:

Please help me find appropriate drivers or figure out the problem.

Thank you.

  1. You’re right, it’s a driver problem.

    The reason the touchscreen doesn’t work is because Windows 7 is not supported on the Dell Inspiron 7737, Dell have not released any Windows 7 drivers for that model.

    You should have checked what drivers were available from Dell’s support website before installing Windows 7.

    Only these Windows versions are supported:

    Windows 10 64-bit
    Windows 8.1 64-bit
    Windows 8 64-bit

    Use a mouse if you want to keep using Windows 7. Touchscreen on Windows 7 is clunky anyway because it wasn’t really designed for touchscreens, whereas Windows 8 & 10 were.

    It’s no big deal, just use a regular mouse. I wouldn’t use touchscreen anyway. Who want’s to get smudges & fingerprints all over the screen when it’s possible to use a mouse instead?
