Hi, Simon: I think you and I are actually in agreement here, except that I think this has just changed with Windows 10. I believe Windows 10 now supports UEFI and GPT natively, which would remove this limitation. I can't prove it just yet, but this is what I believe to be the situation. Janina S

Hi Jurgen and others, I didn’t mention that I do have track pad commander enabled. I also should have said that a single finger double tap does work in some places as it does on the iPhone, example on a close button or in the extras menu. but in other places such as mail it doesn’t.
