Product: HP Stream Laptop 14-ax0XX
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I frickin cannot find it! My sister threw the box away. I'm 14, she's 17. My HP Stream 14 is at Windows 10 Home. I want to Upgrade it to Windows 10 Pro, but I have to pay $99.99 for it, but I don't have a Credit card. And the only other way is to find the Activation Code. But I can't find it. Please Help!

Your Windows license key is embedded in BIOS. It will not work for Windows 10 Pro activation but may get you a discount. Not sure how that works in Windows 10- though I do think Windows 10 Pro is overkill on a Stream laptop. Most people complain within a few months about running out of hard drive space just trying to keep patches from Windows Update applied.

You can retrieve you key from BIOS using the attached file.
