Hi Shawn,
I know this will sound very idiotic, but what is this for exactly? Could you explain in a basic language but detailed for me? I'm no good with computers.
Thanks,
Paul

Hello Paul, and welcome to Seven Forums.

This is for when you have a touch pen device installed. Usually with a tablet.

Okay, can this touch pen be installed onto any laptop running Windows 7?

You'll have to check the requirements of the specific pen to see if you may be able to.
