I need to know whether my laptop recharging adapter cable includes a built in surge protector or do I need to provide an external one. I purchased the laptop 3/18/20.

I've never heard of such a thing.
If that is what HP is telling you then I would go with what they indicate.
If it were me, I would make sure my notebook was plugged into a decent surge protector whenever possible.
You can see this link where someone asked the same question.

Actually, I contacted HP support and was advised that all laptop AC adapters have come with built-in surge protectors for a few years. What gave me the idea is that I was looking for a second adapter to use for traveling and the ad included the statement that it had a built-in surge protector so I wanted to know if the one that came with the computer that I purchased in March also had it. I was assured that it did.
