That's right, I agree with what the expert mentions @Dragon-Fur .

@wgander1 Your equipment is not designed to use an active pen.

Hello @wgander1 .
On your computer you can use a passive stylus (capacitive stylus) or the finger of your hands.

I don't know what that means. I need a part number...

The 3 listed are: 

1MR94AA#ABL

2MY21AA#ABL

3J122AA#ABL

They don't mention capacitive, only that they need MPP2.0 and I don't know what that is either..

@wgander1 .

From where are you verifying that information you mention?

Apologies for jumping in unannounced.

 

@wgander1 

 

The problem is not the part numbers - you already have these ...

The source of the difficulty:  Your computer does not support an HP active pen / stylus.

Support for an active pen is not mentioned in either the Service Guide or in an internal document cross reference.

 

What about a "passive pen"?

What Is a Capacitive Stylus and How Do They Work? 

 

Passive pens are NOT the same as an active pen / active stylus.

A Passive pen can open menus and perform basic functions.

Thank you for the answer. Neither of the references mention the pen.

When I shopped for accessories, the 3 pens came up.  That's why I thought I could use  one.
