Can I even use a stylus

[Treyh]

Is my computer compatiable with any kind of active stylus? Is it just touch. I have the settings to setup and change my pen settings but I can’t find any active styluses that match.

Stylus options and the compatible devices (computers) are listed in this document:

HP PCs - Touchscreen Compatibility with Pen and Stylus

At this writing, I do not find your system in the list.

You might consider using a "passive stylus".

Excerpted:

• A passive stylus (also known as capacitive stylus) functions the same as your finger on the screen. Passive styluses do not require batteries, and they work on any touch screen device.
  While non-HP branded passive stylus are not supported by HP, most will work with HP touchscreen computers and tablets.

Okay so when it says that I can set up my pen it means for a passive stylus. And I can set all this up in my pen and touch settings? Because I have the regular stylus but I want to be able to use the erasing feature it talks about in the settings menu.

I can offer the following:

HP PCs - Touch Screen Stylus Pen Is Inaccurate or Stops Working

The document includes a chart that explains the difference between using a passive stylus and an active stylus.

According to the explanation / description, the passive stylus does not provide the "erase" feature.
