Touch pad mouse click - always get a “right click” menu. How do I “left click?”
I am normally a Mac user, but bought a Lenovo IdeaPad yesterday to use for volunteer work at a non-profit organization. I am used to a touchpad, but when I single click, I am getting a pop-up menu, as if I "right clicked." I am finding this very frustrating and would love it if someone could give me a simple answer (as I do not speak Computer.) Thank you!

What do you use to single-click? Does the touchpad have physical buttons, or just marked rectangular areas, or nothing at all? Do you press the button / marked area, or do you press the "main" part of the touchpad, or do you only tap it?

Thank you for responding. I have an Ideapad 330. The touch pad is solid black - no markings, and there are no physical buttons. I have been using my index finger to drag the cursor to the correct spot, and then using that same finger to tap on the screen in the same place. This is what I am used to on my Mac. Suggestions?
