Welcome to the HP Forum.

 

Opinions or troubleshooting suggestions in this response are provided independently. I am not employed by: HP, Inc. or the HP Forum.

 

The user guide for the wireless devices can be reviewed Here.

 

The devices should work on any compatible Windows PC.  

 

I can't find any manufacturer software downloads for the devices.

Thank you, Bill_To

you are definitely right, windows (11) PC should support wireless devices, but "All-in-One computers have an internal compartment, so mine also.
with a designated USB port for wireless input devices".

But, what I need to know is how can I connect to another PC without changing the built in usb dongle. 

So, what do I need for the other PC? May be another USB Receiver for the other PC?

Connecting via Bluetooth without any dongle doesn't work with the described HP kit.

My pleasure.

 

Thank you for the additional info.

 

I'm stumped. I have zero PCs employing a dedicated USB port for wireless devices.

 

It sounds like you have unsuccessfully tried the USB dongle on a different PC.

 

I guess this is a HP proprietary thing.

 

Maybe a different Forum member can assist.

Hi again,

No, I did'nt because the original dongle is a bulit in version and not available for me without demounting the AllIn One PC.

My question is now, wether there is a solution like: buy a probiate HP dongle in that case?

Could it work with the other PC?

 

Thanks a lot!

My pleasure.

 

I really don't know if you could buy a separate USB dongle that would talk to your specific mouse and keyboard.

 

Many wireless devices have uniquely paired dongles. 

 

So It may not be possible to use a different dongle with your mouse and keyboard.

 

You may have to buy a new wireless kit if you can't move the HP dongle to a new PC.

"I really don't know if you could buy a separate USB dongle that would talk to your specific mouse and keyboard"

I was hoping that someone from with internal HP knowledge exactly these question would answer.

Anyway, thank you for being engaged for a solution, Bill_to.
