How to draw in touch screen in photoshop

Question

I recently bought a new laptop hoping with a touchscreen hoping to use it with photoshop. I’m wondering if I can draw on the touchscreen with my finger or with a passive stylus while in Photoshop?

My laptop is a HP Envy x360 15z with Windows Ink capability and a touch screen display

Would I need to buy something like an active pen stylus to use on my touch screen in order to use it or am I out of luck?

Photoshop supports touch gestures not fingers painting. Windows INK requires a digitizer and a digial pen. A PC machine like a Microsft surface. (Pen Stylus) use touch screen support thet stylus is a finger substute. When a digital pen is near a machine digitizer the machins touch screen support is turned off the digitizer and digital pen support are in control. A digital pen like Wacom Bamboo Ink requires the machine to have bluetooth and dizital tablet support. Make sure your HP has the requires support. like a HP SPECTRE x2 with active pen support.
