Hey there! @Wutwut, Welcome to HP forums.

I understand you would like to know how to enable HDMI input on your PC.

Don't worry I'll try to help you out.

Did you make any changes to your PC?

Please provide the product number of your PC to assist you better.

To use HDMI input on your PC it should support HDMI in settings. If your PC does not support HDMI input settings then you cannot use HDMI input on your PC.

Try the steps recommended below to connect another PC to an all-in-one using HDMI Input port.

Insert one end of the HDMI cable into the HDMI-out port of the media device. (game console, disc player, another computer, etc.)

Insert the other end of the HDMI cable into the HDMI-in port on the computer, located on the lower-left side of the monitor.

Press the HDMI IN button, which is located on the underside of the lower-left corner of the monitor.

The computer switches to HDMI mode.

To switch back to PC mode, press and hold the HDMI IN button.

Refer this article to know more information about connecting the HDMI to your PC.

Since you have not shared the exact product number of your PC. I may not be able to tell you if there is an HDMI in port on your PC.

Please share the product details to assist you better.

Hello MrRobot, I do not know my product number as I received my computer as a gift. All I know it is an HP Envy 23 Touchscreen All In One PC.  In addition, when checking the Underside of my PC, I did not find any button, can you help me?

@Wutwut, Thanks for your quick response and time.

I appriciate your efforts for writing back to us.

As you mentioned you are not sure on finding the product number on your PC.

Refer this article to know more information about finding the product number of your PC.

Also, I have attached an image which shows the HDMI in button on an all in one PC.

If your PC has an input button on it only then you cast other display onto your all in one PC. Refer the image for more information.
