How to Right Click on touch Screen laptop-tablets (Windows 8)

Before a couple of days one of my friend bought a new Sony Full Touch Screen Laptop but he don’t know how do he can right click on touch screen laptop. I think the same question will be arises in the mind of the fully touch screen tablets users. As  a solution for them and many more friends like him, I’m writing this post under title ” How do I Right click on touch screen laptops-tablets.”

Now a days it is a trend for the Windows 8 operating systems and almost Windows devices are Touch screen. But for Windows “Right-click” is the old trend which hasn’t embraces in the one of the most popular OS iphone.

all the windows supported mice are with 2 buttons and the scrolling wheel in between them. Usually user click “Left Click ” button to select the particular file or folder where as the “Right-click” button is used to get the options for that specific file. Now the main question is that Touch screen devices such a touch screen laptop or tablets do not have a mouse in it , so the question arise is that how do I right click ? Is it possible to right click on touch screen devices ?

Yes, you can right click on the touch screen laptops as well the tablets as follows:

step 1 . Put your finger on  the specific file or folder on which you would like to “right click” , After you do so, slightly slide the finger downwards and after few ( around 2 seconds) you will see a rotating circle on the specific file or Folder.

Step 2.  Now leave the finger from the screen and you will see the right click menu on the specific file or folder.
