HP Stream Mini 200-010 hard drive upgrade

[IT4Me]

I recently bought a HP Stream Mini 200-010 that came with 32gb ssd. I've purchased a 128gb ssd and created a recovery usb drive. After inserting the new hard drive and the recovery flash drive I turn on the pc but get nothing on the display. Putting the original hard drive back in it works fine. Im thinking the problem is either with the new hard drive it doesn't have the drivers for the hdmi connection or I need to set the bios to boot from usb. I can't get into the bios. I've scoured the internet and tried f10, f2, f12, and esc. None of these are getting me to the bios. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The os is Windows 8 w/Bing.

Hi there,

Here is a document about secure boot and the BIOS. It states partway through, in the desktop section to use and repeatedly press the F10 key for a "desktop" computer, as it is powering up.

Give it a try.

Thank you for the information. My issue was actually an oversite. I completely overlooked that I was using a tv as a monitor. Once I connected to an actual computer monitor I was able to see the bios screen. Not exactly sure why the tv wouldn't let me see it.
