Natural / Inverted / Reversed Scrolling - Microsoft Windows - BootCamp

For the short time that I worked as an AppleCare Senior Advisor, this was one of the banes of my existence. I couldn't seem to find a functional result for my customers that didn't require the installation of sketchy software, and I often found myself hopelessly and helplessly referring them to the largely non-existent service that is Microsoft support.

After Bootcamping my own MacBook Pro I started digging into this issue, because it really is irking having scrolling become unnatural when you have to go from MacOS to WindowsBS.

I found the answer I'm posting below provided by one of the only existant and helpful Microsoft Agents, Louie Del, in response to a StephenFlink's question about reversing scroll direction. I amended the information in this post (Bold, Italicized, and Underlined) to add the Natural Horizontal Scrolling. If you wish to see the original post, go to "Reverse the scroll of mouse - Microsoft Community".
