Prepping for Takeoff:

  1. Download the Driver: Head over to Huion’s official website (https://www.huion.com/index.php?m=content&c=index&a=lists&catid=16&myform=1&down_title=h420). Enter your model number (Huion 420) and click “Download.” Choose the driver compatible with your operating system (Windows or Mac).
  2. Connect and Prepare: Plug your Huion 420 into your computer using the provided USB cable. Ensure all connections are secure. For Windows users, disable Windows Ink before proceeding.

Windows Installation:

  1. Run the Installer: Double-click the downloaded .exe file and follow the on-screen instructions.
  2. Choose Your Path: You’ll be offered two installation options: Express Installation (recommended for most users) and Custom Installation (for advanced users who want to choose specific components).
  3. Sit Back and Relax: The installer will handle the rest, extracting files and configuring your system. You might see progress bars and prompts – just click “Next” until it’s finished.
  4. Reboot Required: Once complete, you’ll be prompted to restart your computer. This finalizes the driver installation and ensures everything is in sync.
