Control Windows 11 with your finger or a stylus pen

Windows 11 contains various functions that make working with Windows 11 a lot easier and more intuitive.

The “Pen and Windows ink” feature is a feature that allows you to naturally and intuitively operate your PC to create drawings, notes and other ink-based input.

The Pen is an input device that resembles a traditional pen or pencil, allowing you to write or draw directly on the screen. For example, with the “Pen and Windows Ink” feature you can take handwritten notes, create drawings, add annotations to documents, etc. that are automatically converted into typed text.

Windows Ink is the software that supports the Pen functionality in Windows 11. It gives you access to various ink-related tools, such as a whiteboard, a ruler, an eraser, and different pen styles and colors.

To operate Windows 11 with your finger or via a connected stylus pen, you can enable the following function.
