# Using a drawing tablet on Windows

## Summary

Drawing tablets have excellent compatibility with any Windows computer.

## Drivers

### Manufacturer tablet drivers versus Windows PNP tablet driver

Even though Windows has a built-in PNP driver for drawing tablets, it is very primitive, and you should always install the manufacturer-provided tablet drivers. For more about Windows built-in PNP drivers, see [Windows PNP support](/drawtab/guides/platforms/windows/windows-pnp-support.md).

### Only install one tablet driver

I don't recommend installing two different tablet drivers. In my experience, they can interfere with each other. For example, do not install a Huion driver AND a Wacom driver.

### Windows: 32-bit vs 64-bit

If you have a 32-bit Windows computer, you should verify whether the tablet driver works on those systems by contacting their support. Some tablet manufacturers have dropped support in their drivers for those 32-bit Windows systems. This means that you might be forced to use older drivers.
