HP ENVY x360 - 15-bq181no

I just bought a used HP envy x360. I bought it to be able to draw on the screen. But I have a lot of trouble to find a compatible active pen or even finding if this particular model is active stylus pen compatible. 

Does someone have an idea of how I can find out if there is a chance to use a active pen?

Hi. 

So after a lot of searching I found a couple of posts that said what I should look for. 

I checked my HP Envy and found them on my computer. 

So I ordered a new HP Tilt Pen that in another post should work on mine. 

AND it did. So I am very happy now. I can use this used pc for what I intend to use it.

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.

 

Unfortunately,

There is no indication in the Maintenance and Service Guide that this model / series would support an active stylus.

 

If you wish to do so,

If your computer has a touchscreen,

When an active stylus is not an option on your machine,

Consider a Passive Stylus / Pen

Capacitive / Passive pen is not the same thing as an active stylus, of course.

Passive pen works like your finger on the touchscreen.
