Welcome to the HP English Community --

 

We see several of these each week --

The answer always starts here:

 

On those system series where the Fingerprint reader is available,

The reader is an OPTIONAL feature that is purchased with the computer.

 

and / or

 

On those series where the fingerprint reader is an option,

If the reader does not come installed in the computer at purchase,

The reader / sensor can be purchased and installed by the consumer (or by a PC hardware technician)

Check your Device Manager for section "Biometric devices".

 

Reminder

No Biometric devices section = No working fingerprint reader hardware installed in the computer

Fingerprint reader

 

Although Windows 11 is indeed slightly different from Windows 10, the following document does include several key checkpoints and is worth a look:

HP Notebook PCs - Fingerprint reader troubleshooting (Windows 10) 

 

Depending on the model, the fingerprint sensor might be integrated into the top cover / keyboard area.  Check your system’s user manual.

 

Reminder:  If the system does not include the fingerprint sensor, there might be a "cover plate" box where the reader would be located.

 

If your system does not have a fingerprint sensor and the option is available for your model series, the sensor can be purchased and installed. Check your computer’s maintenance and service guide for the part number(s) and the procedure.

 

Control Panel > Device Manager > Tab View > Devices by Type

Section Biometric devices > Fingerprint sensor (if listed)

 

If the fingerprint reader hardware is installed

AND

If you need the driver:
