How to change your trackpad settings for MacOS

The new Macbooks come equipped with the new trackpad. This is a great feature. This trackpad can easily help you move around in your Macbook. The trackpad can be modified to your likings. For example, you can tap on items or you can click on items. You can drag, drop, expand items.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Macbook or Macbook Pro

1. Turn on your Macbook. Do not have anything else running.

2. Click on the apple at the top. Look for the "System Preferences" link. A window will come up and will have a lot of options.

3. Click on the system prefrences on your icon dock. (This is another option for the step above.) You will see this as a mechanical square.

4. Look for the one that says "Trackpad" On the side there are videos that you can see when you click on the option.

5. Click on the options you wish.

6. Try them out. If you don't like the option, you can change it back.
