ALPS touchpad.
So far I didn,t find any Windows 10 ALPS drivers on acer website. (Does not mean it is not available, it is a very long list to look for). Somehow Lenovo listed all three drivers (Synaptic, Elantech and ALPS on their webiste).

This released officially for Windows 10 (64-bit). However most of the time it does support 32-bit and other OS (Windows 7 and 8/8.1). Download and extract the file, read the readme file and look for the supported OS.
Additional Notes:
Most of the time, drivers does not depend on Laptop manufacturer, it depends on the part manufacturer. That is why you can use drivers form another brand with your current brand. But make sure you have the right to do so, depend upon terms and agreement before downloading and using the files.
