Hello! I tested a lot of different Pens for my Spectre x360 - 13-4136nl, but none of them works on it.
It looks weird since my laptop has Windows Ink and this means that it should have Microsoft Pen Protocol, but I can't find proofs of this.
HP's pages don't help much, so can you help me please in finding how to install the drivers of Microsoft Pen Protocol? (I think that this could be a solution)
PS: I updated all the drivers and the system to the last version and I tested several pens like HP Pen, Bamboo Ink for Windows Ink and Lenovo Stylus.
PPS: Bamboo Ink is able to connect to my laptop through Bluetooth and it can start Windows Ink by the button on the top, but it's not able to write.

Product introduced mid-2016
Unfortunately, I can find no evidence that this model supports an HP active stylus.
Windows Ink is a Windows entity - the section shows up in Settings regardless of whether the individual computer supports a stylus.
What does this mean?
We cannot provide information for not-HP pens,
There are no drivers for HP pens available for your computer,
There are no HP compatible HP stylus options.
