Hello @proudnpoise
Your specs show you have 4GB of ram and 64 GB of eMMC SSD.

Unfortunately, the stream model was very low budget and the ability to upgrade was not intended.
The SSD is hard soldered into the motherboard and cannot be replaced.
The memory has only one slot and HP says it can only handle up to 4GB of capacity.

I do understand the documentation you have (I've seen it already) but I do have that HDD on my computer (right click on the C:) and I just add last friday an 8GB DDR4 PC4-19200 NON-ECC and everything is working fine (right click on Windows key and system).
Thanks

If it accepted 8GB you are doing good. We have no way of knowing if it will accept more as we can only go by what the documentation tells us. You would have to experiment on your own about ram capacity.
If the EMMc is plugged in separately with a Ziff connector, you might be able to connect a Sata SSD, according to one guys report on his website. The manual only indicates that its integrated with the motherboard. I know of no one who has done it on an HP Stream. You would have to be your own guinea pig on that.

I already got it @proudnpoise it took 8GB. Like I said, you are doing good if it took it. Good luck.

I do not understand how I could endup with a non ssd hard drive could you explain how I could swap to SSD plz what is a ziff connector
Ive explained all I can. Those Stream laptop models were all built with eMMC SSD drives, not standard M.2 or 2.5in Sata drives. HP did not intended for upgrading at that cheap price point. That number you gave me is for an eMMC drive!!! https://www.google.com/search?q=what+is+a+zif+connector
Ive done all I can do on this subject. If you need help with understanding how drives connect and how to install them, there are plenty of videos on YouTube on the subject. I recommend you do some homework on how to upgrade a laptop first.
