Product: Hp stream 14
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi, so I am trying to create windows 10  installation media for my hp stream 14. So that I can fix low memory issue. Now I understand how to download it. 

I am needing help with what to do once I have the files on my USB drive.

Do I just plug it into the machine and it will guide me through installation or are there some certain steps or changes I need to make so that I don't screw this up.

 

Oh and I found a post on how to squeeze more memory out of my hp. But the instructions given where very vague and honestly didn't tell me how to do anything. Person just said they removed this n that andit gave more memory. 

If anyone has a simplified instructions please let me know. 

 

Thank you in advance, any help is greatly appreciated as long as its help and not rude insulting comments from people trying to sound superior to others

There is a guide, made by HP Expert Huffer, which describes in detail how to perform an install of Windows 10  on an HP Stream "notebook"in the Tribal Knowledge base.

 

Use the link below.

If by low memory you mean low "hard drive" capacity I suggest using an SD card to give yourself more storage capacity. Increasing the physical memory of your HP Stream is not possible.

 

Why would you think that we are here to  rude and insulting? We are here to help members of our community.
