Windows 10: Tablet PC Input Panel is missing

I have a drawing tablet, Huion HS64, which I have been using as my main input for text. In my old PC which runs Windows 7, a panel seemingly named Tablet PC Input Panel pops up, which I can use for handwriting recognition.


I could not find Tablet PC Input Panel in Windows 10, and when I searched it up, every single article was telling me to go to Settings and find a setting that enables embedded handwriting recognition or to find the handwriting button in the Touch Keyboard. To my dismay, both methods did not work. For the touch keyboard, I could not find the handwriting button:





And for the settings, I could not find such a setting anywhere:





Please help me find out.


Note: I am using a drawing tablet, not a tablet PC. So, I don't know how that changes settings and all.
