Nope, select it. It'll ask to install some thingy from Microsoft. Afterwards it should work just fine. I had to do the same thing not too long ago on my W8 Laptop as well.

That would be the 'let's shove both the keyboard and touchpad input through the same ribbon' design xD

Yeah, you get a mouse. :D

I've bought two myself for college, a $20 wired one that is pretty solid and good, and a $10 or so Microsoft wireless one for on-the-go.

It disables the touchpad so when you're typing it can't be used. I'm sure there's a way to enable it during typing but you'd have to change it back and forth all the time. Easier to just get a mouse.

You'll get used to Windows 8 as well, or just use ClassicShell and not deal with Metro at all.

Don't rlly like ClassicShell at all, I prefer Start8, Vistart8 or Start Menu Reviver.
