I received an HP Pen (battery operated) with my laptop a couple of years ago. I have never used it and now I would like to, I cannot find any instructions on how to use it.  Is there a video?  I found the video showing the rechargeable pen but not the battery operated pen.

@VAWMAR Here's all you need to know and do, to get started:

If it's a passive stylus without buttons or battery, just start using it like a pencil, there's no set up required.

 

Otherwise, follow these steps to set up the HP Pen with your HP notebook: -Remove the pen from the package. -Twist the pen to open it, and then install the battery in the battery slot. -Reinstall the top of the pen. -On your notebook, tap the pen tip to the laptop screen to turn the pen on. -There are two buttons on the pen. -By default, the button closest to the pen tip is set to Erase. -The button farther from the pen tip is set to Select an item or Right-click. -Customize the pen buttons in the HP Pen Control App. -For some laptops, the HP Pen Control App comes preinstalled. -Select Start, type HP Pen Control, and then select it from the results. -If the app does not display in the results list, download it from the Microsoft Store, and then open it. -Select the Top Button drop-down menu and choose an action. -If desired, select the Bottom Button drop-down menu and choose an action. -To return the pen buttons to the default actions, select Default. -To save the new settings, select Apply, and then use the pen in a supported program for your computer.
