But, if that one doesn't work out, be sure to uninstall the non-working stylus driver, so it doesn't interfere with any subsequent drivers you try. Of course, you gotta make sure to install all necessary drivers for both the laptop's sensors and for the stylus (to tell the laptop sensor driver exactly how to interpret the signals from the stylus, and maybe to make a possible Bluetooth button work) before you can check anything. For my Lenovo C940, I literally had to buy an AES 2.0 compliant Wacom Bamboo Ink Plus, and just try it out, to see if my laptop complied with that standard. But manufacturers don't always state that in their specs. If you can verify that your laptop uses a common standard, like AES 1.0 or 2.0, then that will make things easier. Therefore, you need to be super careful to make sure your stylus is actually fully compatible with your particular laptop. As it turns out, they tend to switch back and forth on which standard is used in which laptop, even for models that are almost identical. Back then, I had a nightmare of a time finding a supposedly compatible stylus. I've had an HP, stylus enabled, laptop before. Don't assume that just because two laptops are from the same manufacturer, that they will use the same standards for all those signals. So, even if your new laptop's spec's say it should receive pressure signals, it is still possible for it to receive the location signals from your old stylus but not receive the pressure signals from that same stylus. There is more variety in standards for pressure signals. It is also entirely possible for a particular sensor to detect a stylus's location but still not receive or interpret the pressure signals, even if said sensor is supposedly capable of receiving pressure signals. If the sensor behind the screen of your new laptop is not designed to receive pressure signals, or not designed to receive the specific pressure signals sent out by your existing stylus, OR if you don't have the correct driver installed for both the laptop and the stylus, then those signals my be being sent but not received, or maybe not interpreted. There are also lots of competing standards for all those signals. It is the sensor behind the screen of your laptop that receives and interprets those signals.
