I can not use the scroll fumction on my Apple mouse with my Dell computer. Is there a setting to get the computer to recognize the Apple mouse trackpad function?

    Hi I'm Rodrigo and I will help you.
    Unfortunately, the Apple mouse is not made for use on Windows, that's why even after connected, it works with some limited functions, that's the case for scrolling.
    There are some workarounds, free and paid.

    Try this alternate driver for the Apple Magic mouse:
    https://github.com/Rain9333/MagicMouse2DriversWin10x64/tree/master/AppleWirelessMouse
    Download the three files, place them in the same folder. Right click the Start Menu > Device Manager > Locate the mouse > Right click it > Update driver > Browser my computer > Select the folder you downloaded the driver. > Next. Another option is this paid application that enabled functions for the Apple Magic Mouse.
