The device keeps on promting me with the error message that "No finger print sensor that supports Windows Hello could be found"

Welcome to the HP Community --

 

Many times, in fact, most of the time, the Fingerprint reader is an optional purchase.

 

If the computer does not have an actual fingerprint reader sensor, it might still have a same-color blank cover box where the fingerprint reader would have been located.

 

Check your Device Manager --

If the Device Manager finds a working fingerprint reader in the hardware, the reader will be listed in Biometric devices.

 

IF the Device Manager finds the fingerprint reader,

Then it is worth checking whether you need a driver / software for the reader.

 

If the Device Manager does not find a fingerprint reader,

and

If your computer series offers the fingerprint reader as an optional feature,

Look to your Service and Maintenance Guide for a part number and instructions to install the reader into your computer.
