its Fn plus one of your f numbe keys. The way my y40 is set up f6 is to disable the trackpad and the button is marked with a  trackpad and a cross through it. Just look for that symbol. How old is your laptop btw? cause your trackpad could be just dead

Did you do a fresh install of win10 before your trackpad stopped working?

Try looking for drivers from your laptop maker's website. if not your trackpad is probably dead. if you have warranty on your laptop, use it.
