Product: Hp Stream 11 y010nr
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I am trying to reinstall windows (tried versions 8-10) but I keep getting the same error message saying that 

"windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer's hardware may not support to this disk. Ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu" in the bios menu there is no selection to change the disk controller I looked numerous times. I wiped the drive and converted to mbr upon initial installation because the windows installation didn't support gpt. After I did that the screen also stopped working so I am using an external display and I can not finish/start the windows installation because of this error. I also tried to recover and upgrade the bios but the utility would not load. This is an hp 11 stream with a 32gb eMMc hard drive.

Please try - should be very similar to Windows 8/8.1.
