Do you want to connect your digital pen (like a Surface Pen) to your Windows 11 computer? This guide will show you easy steps to pair your pen using Bluetooth so you can start writing, drawing, or navigating smoothly.
What is Bluetooth?
Bluetooth is a wireless technology that lets devices like pens, keyboards, mice, and speakers connect to your computer without any cables.

Step 1: Make Sure Bluetooth is Turned On

- Select Settings (gear icon).

- Turn on the switch next to Bluetooth.
Step 2: Put Your Pen in Pairing Mode
To make your pen ready to connect, you need to press and hold the top button on your pen.
- Press and hold the top button for about 5-7 seconds.
- Look for a light on the pen — it will start blinking white. This means the pen is ready to pair.
Step 3: Pair Your Pen with Windows 11
- Go back to Settings > Bluetooth & devices.
- Click Add device.
- Choose Bluetooth from the options.
- Wait a moment, and your pen should appear in the list of available devices.
- Click your pen’s name to connect it.
Once connected, your pen is ready to use!
