There are a couple of netbooks [and tablets] that don't have an external port. However you can buy for under $30 a USB graphics Card. (Don't try to play Action Video Games at 4k)

Also, I'd you want to get several displays on a standard laptop you can get an Expansion Card with up to 3 more displays (HDMI)

worked it out?
remember, you can set to legacy/csm and access windows partitions with chntpw or whatever. its just a matter of booting into windows that you'll need to revert back to uefi

I dont see the option for non uefi boot..

This should work: With the tablet powered down, press the power button, when you see the back light press the volume rocker switch down. It will bring up the Startup Menu and press F11 for System Recovery and it should restore it to the out of the box configuration. (You are using the HP Stream 7, correct?)

I just got a PM stating the following:

Hi there,
I'm new here, just wanna know how it works here. Will you really help someone that wants essentially to breaking into a tablet? ls this ethical? (beside that I would fear my son wanting to hack in into my system...

I replied:
I dont consider it unethical. If I would know its a kid that would be a different story. The right words aren't coming to mind, however I can't be חושד that every time I post it will be taken for bad.

He Responded:

You could never know if it's a bucher breaking into his yeshiva office or fathers PC. I would be cautious with stuff like this.

Any comments?

It's a tablet, so calm down with school office. And his "father" would know if his password was erased...

Double check the recycle bin, and choose the option to show hidden files and folders, in folder options

If you have kids at home (or people that don't know what they are doing, or you are very tired!) very often the files get mistakenly drag and dropped to another folder nearby. This is especially common in regard to files and folders on the desktop.
I would suggest, assuming you haven't already, do a search for the files.

I don't have kids home playing with the laptop, I did a search, I have windows 10 what is the best way to search for certain file and folders?
