TrackPads are the biggest problem with most of the laptops that we mostly use. It doesn't matter whether your laptop is new or old or expensive or cheap. I also had this issue on my Dell expensive laptop which is packed with all the top-end hardware but the trackpad always works like a cheap one before I done these procedures which I'm going to discuss here.

What we are actually doing?
Before we get started, let me explain how this all works. Usually, our laptops are working with ELAN or Synaptics driver which is something like a crappy software. All we are doing is installing the Windows Precision touchpad drivers and replacing the Synaptics or Elan ones. Precision Touchpads are a combination of a multitouch physical trackpad and the drivers that power the gestures and movement.
Why we are doing it?
As Microsoft improves its Windows touchpad support, improvements can benefit all devices with this Windows Precision touchpads. Devices with normal touchpads will continue to stay the same, as the laptop manufacturers won’t work on updating and fine-tuning old drivers. Windows Precision touchpad drivers are accurate, sensitivity, movement, and gestures of it is way better than Synaptics or Elan.
