how do I right click on OLD Apple mouse that is white / oval shape?

How do I right click on the older version of Apple mouse?

Please do not tell me to buy a new one, I myself have new mac mini with trackpad, but need to help friend in wheelchair who lives in healthcare facility fix an app on his iMac, need to right click to do it. We cannot get on internet there to download mouse drivers for a different mouse.

Thank you in advance for your thoughts.

If its one of these, you have to power off your new mouse in order for the computer to recognize the older mouse in the system preferences. But as soon as you do, go to system preferences -> mouse, and you will see this:

Look for secondary (right) click settings in Mouse system preference. If there are none then the mouse does not have right-click. In that case you can right-click by holding the Control key while clicking.
