Hi:

 

You can use the HP cloud recovery tool with another PC running W7 64 bit or newer and a 32 GB USB flash drive to create a bootable USB recovery drive that will reinstall W10, the drivers and the software that originally came with your notebook.

 

Here is an info link for how to use the utility.

Since you have to install the recovery tool on another PC, after you launch it, you will need to enter your notebook's product number in the tool's search window to proceed.

 

Your notebook's product number is: X7S47UA#ABA

Will I be able to download and create the USB bootable recovery drive on a Chromebook. Then use it on my hp stream 14 laptop.

HP Recommended

You will need to have access to a PC running W7 64 bit or newer to create the recovery media with.

Since I do not have another device running windows what else can I do.

HP Recommended

Find a relative or friend that has a PC who can make the recovery media for you. 

 

That would be the only suggestion I can offer.
