How to install Windows 10 on a HP Stream laptop

OK , This video is gonna be , um , how to install Windows 10 on this HP steam laptop .

I think it's a 10 or 11 .

Not too sure .

Um , what you're gonna need is a USB stick with Windows 10 .

This is one's got 64 bit on .

I know .

I've already done it .

This is it nice and clean .

The reason why I did it is because the old windows on there I couldn't even do a restore .

I couldn't go back to factory settings .

It said not enough space that there was only I could only free up eight .

I've tried everything from this clean up .

I've tried absolutely everything that I could think of , and it still wouldn't do it .

So I thought the only way is to reinstall windows clean , take all the partitions off and start again .

So that's what I'm going to show you what I'm gonna do .

So the first thing is , we got to switch the machine off totally power down , and then on power up , you need to press the F 10 key , so cover up F 10 .

That takes you into the bios .

It's gonna ask you if you want to exit .

Just say no to that because we're not exiting .

It's just because you press the button a few times .

Then you're going to go across to system configuration .

You can see that , OK ?

And then you want to know No exit has gone too far .

Sorry .

So and then you're gonna go to Where are we ?

Um boot options .

Press that now .

In here you must enable the legacy boot order , which is quite straightforward if you go to legacy support .

You see , I've enabled it What I show you , Where are we ?

Ok , so if you press enter , you got disable or LA error up or arrow down , so we'll leave it as it is .

So I just escape .

So you must have that enabled .

OK , legacy boot order .

Put your USB stick in OK , and then you have to reboot the system .

So when you when you exit the system so escape that go to exit and then you have to save changes An exit Yes .

OK , so once you've made the changes in the bios for the USB legacy , you have to then press the when you when the machine , when you exit and you reboot the laptop .

What will happen is you have to press F nine on boot up .

So as soon as your screen goes blank and it starts to reboot , press F nine , then you'll enter this screen .

This is saying it needs permission to change what you've done in the BIOS .

And for that , what you have to do then , is type in 7908 and press enter .

See ?

So it says operating system boot mode change .

021 .

So then to to complete the change .

OK , you've got to type that number in .

So you type in 7908 .

So here we go 7908 NF .

And there we go .

And then what we're looking for is the boot drive , and the mine is a USB hard drive secure lock .

So I'm gonna go down to that press enter , and then she should actually boot .

There you go .

So you have to wait now for the little and some machines take longer than others .

So be patient , right ?

Give it a sec .

Uh , and then I'll show you what I did about all the partitions because there was about six .

They were restore There was everything on here and it just didn't work .

So I tried everything .

So the next option was to do this .

So what you want to do then , is forget the top one United States , because you can't alter anyway .

So come down the middle one , press up .

One United Kingdom next in store .

Now , come on , start up your setting .

Start up .

Then I'll show you how to remove the partitions .

There'll probably be only two part partitions on a year there were four .

So , like I said , there was a recovery as well .

Well , it just didn't work , so it was pointless .

This is a a friend's machine , and we couldn't .

There was windows pre office preinstalled on it , but it was , um , one that goes through Microsoft .

So I'll just pause for a second while we're waiting .

OK , then you get the agreement screen , which you have to say yes to next , and then you go to custom install .

And that one year there was four partitions and I didn't need them .

So you just delete them ?

Yes .

And then just delete them .

Totally delete .

Yes , you'll have one drive left 20 then just go next and Windows 10 will load for you nicely .

Give it a sec and there we go .

So I'll come back in a sec .

OK , so we're up to 8% now , So just to recap , um , stream HP stream 11 or 10 inch ?

I can't remember anyway , um , enter the bios .

Press the power on F 10 .

Once you're in the bio , you must enable the legacy for the USB .

You come out , you save it .

Then you press the F nine key on reboot as it reboots .

You have to put then the security code in to let you have the options to the boot boot options You put the code in , then you get the boot options .

Then you boot from the , um USB stick .

Pretty straightforward .

OK , we'll just wait for this to load done .

So it's still getting ready .

Nearly ready now to , uh , finish off the installation of windows so we'll just give out a few minutes .

So we're now coming up with the password for the WiFi pop that in next use express settings .

Boom , boom .

OK , let me give you a welcome screen .

I'll just pause for a second .

We're happy you're here .

So here you just let it run for a bit .

While it's getting its critical updates .

Take about five or 10 minutes .

So I don't know if this comes on a normal Windows 10 because I work in a an environment in a school .

This it belongs to one of our colleagues .

So you'd probably put I own it .

And you have a Microsoft account , but I'm just going to go to the school .

Owns it next .

I'm not going to join as I'm just going to join a local directory .

You don't have to do anything .

You don't have to join the directory .

You just say you do put the name in .

I'm just gonna use cat D , and then I'm just gonna go next .

Welcome now , Before this was full , there was only what we have .

Only a 500 Meg free on the hard drive .

We couldn't do anything with it .

So installing it this way , using the USB stick , OK , you will lose everything .

Your pictures , your data , your , um , documents .

Everything will go .

This will be totally clean .

You cannot go back to a previous version .

The only the only thing you can do is do a restore restore point after the machine is loaded .

So you've got to restore so you can go back to your previous restore using the windows you've just put on .

There is no restore point until you do that .

OK , there is no going back to a previous version .

This is totally , totally clean .

And there you go , Windows 10 fully loaded and let's just see if we click on the folder down here .

It'll come up .

If we then click on this PC , you'll notice 18.9 gig free .

You can zoom into that .

We had 500 Meg before .

That's the difference .

So I should pop off on and then tell the person in question that her laptop is ready .

OK , if you would like the video and it was helpful .
