Welcome to the HP Community --

 

According to the documentation,

This model series does not support an Active Pen / Stylus.

 

Reference

Maintenance and Service Guide

 

That said,

If you are looking for the app for a friend,

Here is the Information:

 

HP Pen Control Application – Available at the Microsoft Store

  • Document:  HP Notebook PCs - Configuring the HP Pen Using HP Pen Control Software (Windows 10)
  • HP Pen Control – Microsoft Store - Description:  This application allows customization of stylus buttons for HP stylus models – including HP Pen and HP Rechargeable MPP2.0 Tilt Pen.  You can seamlessly switch between stylus button function.  HP Pen, HP Rechargeable MPP2.0 Tilt Pen, and the HP Pen Control application are provided for supported computer models.

 

==========================================

What about a Pen for this computer?

 

Does my computer have a touch screen?

Control Panel > icon view > Device Manager

Tab View > Check Show hidden devices

Open Human Interface Devices

Look for HID-compliant touch screen

Next, Optional

(Note -- If the touch screen is listed and is working, there is no need to adjust, enable, or disable the device)

Tab Action > Select Disable device or Enable device > Confirm selection

 

Reference:  Microsoft - Enable or Disable your touchscreen in Windows

 

Passive Pen Options for Touch Screen

 

If you wish to do so,

If your computer has a touchscreen,

When an active stylus is not an option on your machine,

Consider a Passive Stylus / Pen

Capacitive / Passive pen is not the same thing as an active stylus, of course.

Passive pen works like your finger on the touchscreen.
