Using Wacom Intuos on Multiple Computers

Just got a Wacom Intuos and very excited to use it. It works great on my home computer, no problems. I tried taking it to my school to use for lessons but it would not work. I plugged in the Wacom, the light on the tablet turned on, and the computer made the sound that the tablet was connected. However, no input on the tablet was being registered. FYI, the computers at my school use Windows (pretty sure Windows 11). 

My tablet worked on my home computer even before installing the drivers, does the school computer NEED the drivers? I would love to use my tablet in class for my students but right now I am not able to. 

Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

  Hi Nick Boyce, 

  I would guess the computers in the school are managed by an IT team? I would recommend you to contact them and have the driver installed. 

  Yes, Windows personal use versions will support pen input devices natively through Windows Ink, but computers in a school environment are probably restricted.
