Apple Trackpad is said to be used only on a Bluetooth enabled Mac device but now you can use it on Windows too . Here is how you can
Apple Magic Trackpad now works with Windows
Install Magic Trackpad on Windows (without Boot Camp)
Step 1: Download this small patch from the Apple website but don’t run it yet. It’s an executable file but it won’t run on your Windows Desktop since it is intended only for users who are running Windows inside a Mac desktop using Boot Camp.
Step 2. Download a copy of 7-zip and extract the contents of the exe file that you’ve downloaded in the previous step.
Step 3. This will create a new file called “BootCampUpdate32.msp” – extract the contents of this file as well using 7-zip again.
Step 4. You’ll now have several sub-folders that are named like BootCamp3135*. One of these folders will have a file called “Binary.AppleWirelessTrackpad_Bin” – just add a .exe extension to this file and then double-click to run it.
This will install the Apple Wireless Trackpad driver on your Windows machine without requiring Boot Camp and you should now be able to pair the Magic Trackpad with the PC.
Ignore if you get any errors in middle of installation.
