Pressure sensitivity in MSPaint

Got a Surface Pro 4 and one of the big things was the pressure sensitivity of the pen.

Tried it out on OneNote and it worked great.

Loaded MSPaint, no sensitivity on the pen. Is there a setting I missed or does MSPaint just not support it, if that is the case it is a shame that one of Microsoft's own products doesn't support the feature.

I say MSPaint since I just want to doodle so don't need my Photoshop CC for that.

Correct, not supported in MSPaint

The MS Paint code base is way too old to have pen pressure support. It actually does not even support the pen and thinks it's your mouse.

If you want to doodle with a simple free tool designed for the pen, have a look at Microsoft FreshPaint. It's in the Windows Store here:
