You have a 7 year old 2015 model that did not originally have a fingerprint reader. Hello does not work on old models even though it is listed in Setup and Passwords. Manual--
What do you mean it did not originally have a fingerprint reader? It is built into the laptop, has drivers available since launch, and Windows Device Manager sees the biometric device and reports it as working properly.
The link you shared is about a System Password for the BIOS. I'm talking about Windows 10 user login options.
Regular password login is already set up. I'm just trying to also add a fingerprint sign in option, which is displayed in the Windows Sign-in options screen in Settings. Notice in the screenshot that Face login is correctly indicated as unavailable since the laptop does not have the necessary hardware, unlike Fingerprint which by all indications should work:
I found several Warning entries in Windows Event Manager that might be related, titled "Microsoft-Windows-User Device Registration/Admin":
Windows Hello for Business provisioning will not be launched. Device is AAD joined ( AADJ or DJ++ Not Tested User has logged on with AAD credentials: No Windows Hello for Business policy is enabled: Not Tested Windows Hello for Business post-logon provisioning is enabled: Not Tested Local computer meets Windows hello for business hardware requirements: Not Tested User is not connected to the machine via Remote Desktop: Yes User certificate for on premise auth policy is enabled: Not Tested Machine is governed by none policy. Cloud trust for on premise auth policy is enabled: Not Tested User account has Cloud TGT: Not Tested See https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=832647 for more details.
Maybe this provides some hints?
I don't know why it mentions Windows Hello for Business or Cloud trust. The computer is set up as a local account.
Additionally, I found that TPM was not enabled in BIOS, so I enabled it since Fingerprint probably requires it. Still no difference.

The BIOS, fingerprint reader drivers and firmware, and Windows updates are all at the latest versions.
