Windows 10: Windows 10 S on HP stream 14

I bought this HP stream 14” with 32gb of non removable storage. I’m trying to install windows 10 S in order to increase storage. My son will be using this laptop for YouTube, some Microsoft store games, light internet browsing and school work.

The reason I want to install Windows 10 S is to gain some extra storage and improve performance.

I managed to free 8.15gb after uninstalling some apps. The installation successfully completed but while the installer was preparing I got the message saying that I dint have enough storage.

I reinstalled windows 10, repeated the process with the same results.

Does anyone know how I can get this done? It’s for his birthday tomorrow and I can’t seem to figure it out.

restart computer without total shutdown (hp stream 14)

Vijay, I have programs that asks me to restart my computer. HP stream 14. #2. I've tried windows suggested remedies on getting more space, apparently not enough.Now when I try to update win.10 v
1903 I get a message telling me that other updates are downloading that was 4 days ago.It tells me to try restarting my computer.Hence my question

 

Which of these 14" laptops would you choose [Bought a 14" HP]

I just ordered the 14" HP Pavilion 14-bf001nd
Tweakers

• Intel Core i3-7100U (2.4GHz)
• 6GB ram (1x4 + 1x2.... I might upgrade it in the near future to 2x4GB to run dual channel, if it's already fast enough maybe not though..)
• 256GB M.2 SSD
• 1080p IPS screen
• Backlit keyboard
• Colors silver/gold
• AC Wifi + BT 4.2

I will mainly use it for email/web browsing, Netflix and live TV streaming which shouldn't be a problem with this laptop.






I will have it tomorrow!! *Big Grin *Clap :clap:

My first windows 10 computer...Yikes!! *Stick Out Tongue

 

HP Stream 14

Hi stumpsBTA

The HP Stream has a chip soldered onto the motherboard and that is your storage (hard drive) that model is not upgradable, since there is no room in that to connect an internal hard drive . . .

You would be amazed how many users with a HP Stream ask the exact same question here on Community each day . . .

Honestly, there is only one answer, backup your data and perform a clean install of the 32Bit version of Windows 10 - that will give you more internal storage space - I know this is not the answer you are looking for, but it is the only and best Answer. You
will then have enough space for the next year of Windows 10 updates and your system will be faster . ..

The HP Stream is not good enough to run Windows 10, regardless of the system specs put out by Microsoft and HP

I honestly don't know why the manufacturers produced these devices.

The Windows 10 folder with a couple of updates will very quickly eat up 20 - 25GB of your hard drive, mine is currently 23GB

You can reinstall Windows 10 at any time and it will not cost you anything, however you will not have enough space to create the bootable Windows 10 media, you will need to do that on another working PC

Since you previously had Windows 10 installed and activated on that PC during the installation process skip the steps which ask for a product key and select the option 'I am Reinstalling Windows 10 on this PC', and activation will not be an issue, your PC will
have a digital entitlement stored on the Microsoft Activation Servers

Make sure you install the same Edition of Windows 10 (Home, Pro . . . etc.) you previously had installed to avoid Activation issues

to download the Media Creation Tool (Click on Download Tool Now), with that you can download the latest Windows 10 ISO (Select Create Installation Media for Another PC), you can create a bootable USB flash drive (min 8GB) using that tool

Then, Boot your PC from the Installation Media you just created (change Boot Order in your BIOS) to begin installing Windows 10
