Hi @Emily832,

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

I understand you've accidentally removed or corrupted your Windows installation on your HP Stream 14-cb112wm. To resolve this, you'll need to reinstall Windows. Here’s how you can do it:
 

Using HP Recovery Media

Create HP Recovery Media:

• If you still have access to another working PC, you can create recovery media from HP's website or use a USB recovery drive if you have one.

Access the Recovery Media:

• Insert the recovery USB or DVD into your HP Stream.

Boot from Recovery Media:

• Restart your laptop and press Esc repeatedly as it boots up.
• Press F9 to open the Boot Device Options menu.
• Select your USB or DVD from the list to boot from it.

Follow the On-Screen Instructions:

• Choose to reinstall Windows and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.

Using a Windows Installation Media

If you don’t have HP recovery media, you can use a Windows 10 installation media:

Download Windows 10 Installation Media:

• On a working PC, go to the Microsoft Windows 10 download page and download the Media Creation Tool.

Create Installation Media:

• Run the Media Creation Tool and select “Create installation media for another PC.”
• Choose USB flash drive or ISO file (for burning to a DVD later).

Install Windows:

• Insert the USB or DVD into your HP Stream.
• Restart your laptop and press Esc repeatedly as it boots up.
• Press F9 to open the Boot Device Options menu and select your USB or DVD.

Reinstall Windows:

• Follow the prompts to install Windows. You may need to select “Custom installation” and choose the partition where you want to install Windows.

Additional Tips

• Backup Data: If possible, back up any important data before proceeding, as reinstalling Windows will erase all data on the drive.
• Drivers and Updates: After reinstalling Windows, you’ll need to install drivers for your HP Stream. Visit the HP Support website to download the necessary drivers for your model.
