Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.
I recommend you click here to verify the compatible stylus that would work on your device.
And, also you can use the passive stylus as it would work on all touchscreen devices, here are a few more details:
- An active stylus (also known as a digital stylus) uses a digitizer built into the screen to allow communication between the touch screen and the pen. An active stylus might support many or all of the functions supported by a mouse, such as right-click, hover, and more. Many active stylus models can block stray marks from your hand resting on the screen or the sweep of your palm while writing so that the screen only registers marks made by the pen.
- A passive stylus (also known as a capacitive stylus) functions the same as your finger on the screen. Passive styluses do not require batteries, and they work on any touchscreen device.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.

Thank you for posting back.
The HP Pavilion All-in-One - 24-xa0018ng computer supports passive stylus/pen. A device cannot tell the difference between a finger and a passive stylus.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
