why can't I scroll and zoom like I could with windows 8

I have an asus touch screen laptop. It does not switch automatically from desktop to tablet mode and even in tablet mode I can do anything other than move my mouse pointer and click on things. It's like I don't have this continuum thing. The way things are I wasted my money on a touch screen.
