Install Windows 10 without Touchscreen Enabled?

Is there a way to install Windows 10 on a touchscreen laptop and disable touchscreen in the process?  Is that something that can be disabled in the bios?  The reason I ask is because I've acquired a laptop with a cracked screen.  When booting up into Windows the computer thinks the screen is being touch, thus I'm not able to do anything on the computer.  Any ideas on how to disable?  The laptop model is an Asus Q200E.  Thank you.

See if that works!

I think this would work, but I can't get to anything because the computer thinks the "mouse" is in one spot on the computer where the crack is.  I'm thinking I would have to reinstall Windows or something else?  I'm brainstorming trying to figure out a way.

Oh snap. What happens if you plug in a mouse?

Same thing...it keeps defaulting to the touchscreen because it thinks I'm continuously clicking on the screen :/

Please spend as much time writing your question, as you want me to spend responding to it.  Take some time, and explain your issue, please!

Oh wait....what if I plug a monitor into it?  It's got HDMI out.  Would that turn off the screen and touchscreen options?  I will have to try that next.  Just thought of this!

You would still be touch screen enabled, just on the laptop. So same issue. But it might be worth a try, see if you can force the mode into just showing on the screen on the monitor rather than the laptop.

Can you navigate with just the keyboard?

No...even hitting the Windows key will bring up the start menu for about half a second then it clicks away.

I'm going to give this a try and will let you know.  About the only thing I haven't tried yet, next to reinstalling Windows, but I don't think that would even work because of the touchscreen on the laptop.

Interesting. Give me some time to brainstorm too!

Sometimes I just gotta talk to someone else to come up with new ideas on how to fix stuff.  I love tech!  LOL

See if you can windows+p whilst using your screen, to quickly change your display mode? To just show the second screen?

I've been quite busy and finally able to sit down and give some time to this laptop again.  I tried plugging in a monitor and switching to second screen only, no luck.  The screen on the laptop is off, but the touchscreen is still enabled :/

Does touch work in safe mode?

I was finally able to get into safe mode.  Touchscreen is still enabled there as well.
