I need to test my Windows app using touch events but don't have a touch screen available.

The Chrome Browser integrates a nice feature to simulate multiple mobile devices or a touch screen. Now close the settings and press the ESC (Escape Key) and switch to the "Emulation" Panel (2). The "Sensors" menu (3) let's you enable the "Emulate touch screen" (4) checkbox. That's it!
No, Windows 10 laptops and 2-in-1 devices technically don't need a touchscreen. That means you can run into situations where you find that the touchscreen is disabled.
Enable your touchscreen in Windows 10 Device Manager To enable it again, find the “Human Interface Devices” section in Device Manager, scroll until you see “HID-compliant touch screen”, right-click it, and select “Enable device”.

The Simulator has modes that allow for basic touch events using the mouse, as well as pinch-to-zoom, and 2 finger rotation. It simulates your current Windows machine so you can even open up your code in VS, run your app, and set breakpoints that would normally only hit when using touch events.
Edit: based on the comment of Luishg, you need to install both Visual Studio and the Visual Studio UWP package for the Simulator to be installed.
