Welcome to the HP English Community --
Your computer might -- or might not - have a fingerprint reader.
The feature is OPTIONAL - that means not every computer comes with the feature installed in the hardware.
Check your Device Manager -
If your computer has a fingerprint reader,
then
There must be a Biometric devices section with a reader listed.
Control Panel > icon view > Device Manager
Tab View
Check Show hidden devices
Select Devices by Type
Open Biometric devices
===================================================
Next,
Whether the computer includes the feature can be checked in PartSurfer.
Method – Use PartSurfer to check the parts / components in your computer
PartSurfer might be able to tell you exactly which parts came with your computer.
- For best results, use the Serial Number for your search
- Reminder: Do NOT post private information (including serial number) in the Community
Open PartSurfer
- Select your Country
- Search for your computer / printer / device >> See HINT

How to use PartSurfer:
