![]() near the bottom you will see Steps to take after upgrading to windows 10. *Lastly ran all updates and followed a little guide from HP on how to make sure you have all the right GP drivers up and going on a Clean install. Sounds rough but was very simple and done very fast. Again there are many great videos and posts on how to run DISKPART and Disk Management. *once windows 10 was back up I used DISKPART to remove the recovery partition and then went back in to Disk Management to expand the main partition to fill the remaining empty space on the SSD. During that process I was able to format the C: drive and additionaly the recovery partition (but not remove it yet) There are plenty of youtube videos on how to run this clean install with step by step help. *I now ran the USB made by the media creation tool to run a full clean install of windows 10. *Personally at this point i didnt want the 7GB windows 8 recovery paertition just sitting there. Now at this point my hardware was recognized for Windows 10 and I can reinstall all I want. *once done I was running a upgraded version of windows 10. Just plug one in with enough space, refresh and select the one you want. I used my micro SD but had the option to use a USB thumb drive as well. * Somewhere here i was told that i didnt have enough space on my computer but was given an option to select an additional drive or USB to compleate the upgrade. follow the directions to upgrade your pc. *Click on the setup on the USB made from the media creation tool (dont boot in to it this time and run a full clean install or windows will not recognise your 8.1 key). *On another USB I created a copy of the system recovery (because my goal was to delete the recovery partition after installing windows 10 and save some much needed space) *use the Media creation tool to create a USB for the instal. *Compleate a fresh recovery to create as clean of a install as posible This is not to say that a easier one may turn up but this is the only thing that worked for me. After a few failures I was able to make this work and this is how. With the recovery partition and windows 8.1 plus all updates i was left with not nearly enough space to install Windows 10. I wanted to install windows 10 on my Stream 13 (only 32 GB SSD).
