Microsoft Windows 10 (32-bit)

I am new to digital pens and know that a pen that writes wobbly is not for me.  Pros have demonstrated the Surface pen and they seem to do the best.  Are one of these compatible with my HP Pavilion x360.  I use Windows 10, but just guessed at the 32-bit question!  HP pens, Wacom Bamboo - both demo as drawing wobbly straight lines.  I want the pen for drawing.

Please check the following compatible list to select a right one.

If your machine is not on the list, come back later for more updates or it may not support active stylus at all.

Learning the terminology as I research this is also helpful!  That info that you suggested taught me the difference between active and passive pens. Also learned about the M feature to ignore your hand resting on the screen.   It looks like the Tilt feature might not work with some pens.  Still undecided if I should return the unopened Bamboo and buy the Surface pen.  Assuming that they are both compatible with my HP Pavilion x360, is the extra money for the Surface worth it!!!!  Whatever I o decide, I hope that I can find support online to help me if I have any issues.  (or, should I say "WHEN".)  Thanks for the help!

I just researched the MS Surface pen on the MS store website.  A lot of people had reviewed it and said that the tips wear out too fast.  The new pens also roll b/c they don't have a clip, like the old ones did.  Little by little, I am learning what to look for!
