I am a little annoyed at myself. One of my 5 laptops is a HPStream 11 that was running Windows 10 until a few months ago when I wiped the disk and installed Ubuntu. Windows 10 is not bad at all, and I would have enjoyed keeping a Windows 10 machine handy with the new Ubuntu user land support.

I'm fairly certain you can just reinstall Windows 10 and not have to deal with any licensing shenanigans. I'm no expert but I think it's baked into the machine itself these days.
