@your_girl_ziy In theory, you could "upgrade" to the regular version of Windows 10 and download Origin. However, computers that come with Windows 10 S mode installed are almost universally under the minimum requirements to run Sims 4. Plus, among other things, they generally have very small hard drives, so there might not even be enough room to install the game, let alone play it.
If you post your budget and country, I can list some laptops that would run Sims 4 and let you know more or less how well they would handle the game. But they're probably going to be more expensive than a typical HP Stream.
Thank you so much and I don’t want anything to expensive and i live in the us 🥺💞
@your_girl_ziy What's your definition of "too expensive"? I can look for options in your price range, to a point: it might be difficult to go much under $400 and still get a decent laptop. There are a range of decent options in the $600-900 range; anything more than that is overkill for Sims 4. Let me know how much you'd like to spend, and I'll try to find something that works.
- @puzzlezaddict what about in the 500 range thank you 🙏🏽
@your_girl_ziy In the $500 range, most laptops aren't proper gaming systems, with hardware that would only run Sims 4 on medium graphics settings, or maybe medium-high if you didn't install all packs. But I did find one entry-level gaming laptop for $480. Even with all packs installed, it should still run Sims 4 on high-ultra or ultra settings:
If you don't mind getting a used laptop, this one has a stronger processor and a slightly faster graphics card. (The other hardware is the same.) There's a "used, like new" option for $500, offered by a third-party seller that has a 100% rating from Amazon.

I didn't see anything else under $600 that was better than these two options. Still, let me know if you're looking for something a bit different, and I'll look again.
