Hi,

 

Here's a link for ordering Recovery Media from HP.

However, there may be another option available.  Let me know the current OS installed on your Stream - if it's Windows 10, did the machine ship with this OS, or did you upgrade from 8?

Hi,

 

In that case, as long as the previous installation of Windows 10 had activated Ok after the upgrade from 8, you can just perform a clean installation as detailed in the guide on the following link.  Note: At the activation screen, select 'I don't have a Product key' - Windows will activate automatically once the installation has completed.

Hi,

 

You don't need to - just create the installation media on another PC, then boot from it to reinstall Windows 10 on the Stream.
