I am trying to figure out why my laptop refuses to let me download the HP Pen Control app. I bought this laptop with this pen and it is an HP Spectre. According to other message boards I had to download some firmware but that didn't work because the firmware required me to pair my pen with the laptop, which I don't know how to do. I tried to look up how to do that but I could only find explanations with pens I did not have, and I tried to have my laptop find it via bluetooth to no avail. My pen uses batteries and has no "top button," only two side buttons. I have no idea what kind of pen it is nor where to find that information. I just wanted to change one of the side buttons from a right-click to an undo for my art. I am getting extremely frustrated at how extremely difficult such a simple thing is to do.
To anyone who can help or who reads this, thank you so much.
