Configuring Pen Redirection

As an extension of the mouse and touch functionality, you can use an integrated pen on a Windows tablet, such as a Microsoft Surface Book 2.

Pen input includes pointing, pressure to create varying thickness of lines, tilt, rotation, and erasing. You can sign on a PDF with Microsoft Edge or draw on OneNote or another ink-based application in LAN and WAN environments. The pen functionality is enabled by default if your system supports the pen.
