Hi what pens/styluses are compatible with my laptop (HP and Non-HP pens/styluses) and does my laptop have Microsoft Pen Protocol and/or Windows Ink?

Hi@Laura_B01, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Unfortunately, there is only one compatible stylus for the above model unit. However, for normal navigation, you can still use the HP Silver Digital stylus pen. and Stylus (Sunwoda stylus active pen):

The said combination is not tested by HP. So, the functionality is not guaranteed of the Microsoft Pen.
