I am using double PC for streaming and on my "streaming PC" ehernet is set to 1.0 Gbps and on my laptop HP Pavilion 15-bc009nm is set to 100.00 Mbps and on the product page says that my laptop has 1.0 Gbps.
How do I set this up???

@XaybeY Welcome to HP Community!
I understand you are unable to change the ethernet speed to 1GBPS.
Do not worry. I will try to fix the issue.
Please try the following methods and check if that resolves the issue:
Method 1: Run the Internet Connections Troubleshooter and Network Adapter Troubleshooter

Step 2: Run the Network Adapter Troubleshooter
This troubleshooter is an automated Windows10 inbuilt tool which finds and fixes the common issues with the Network Adapter Settings on the computer. It also checks if the network adapter drivers are up to date or not. It may also provide you some clue about the hardware failures happening to the Network Adapter.

- Right click on Start menu.

After the restart, please go ahead with the next steps to install the latest drivers and check if that resolves the issue.
