Q: Is there a way to determine if you have the latest bootcamp drivers for windows?

I keep hoping for an update to the bootcamp drivers for the touchpad under windows 10.  How can you check to see if you have the latest drivers?

MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

    1. Is this Touchpad 2?

    2. What year/model is your Mac?

    It is the latest Macbook Air, March 2015, but I don't know what touchpad it has.  It works ok under OSX but in windows the touchpad is very hard to use.  I fault the drivers and was hoping Apple would at some point update them to work better under bootcamp.

    The built-in touchpad may not function properly, if Windows drivers are not installed, or are missing. In Windows Device Manager -> HID Devices, what are the available Apple Entries. There is a Bootcamp icon in your System Tray, the About function will tell you the overall BC Driver package version, but individual drivers may be different.
