Here are some snippets of the conversations I had with online support.
As you will see, they were VERY unhelpful (half the time didnt read what I wrote)
I got transferred 3 times only for the last person to tell me to try only solution is to call HP after I already had.
Worst customer service ever. Here are highlights of the last 2 people I talked with.

wow. what an incredible waste of time. it took 3 microsoft employees to waste hours of my time to send me a telephone number to HP?? it is YOUR website thats the issue. not HP. it is clearly MICROSOFT.com/hpstream.
and i have actualyl already contacted HP and they told me to contact you guys!! i called HP first, they said its a MICROSOFT issue. microsoft gives out the 25 gift card. not HP. you guys are NOT committed to helping. you guys are committed to give me the run
around
(NOW COMES THE BEST PART! SHE TELLS ME TO GO BACK TO THE MICROSOFT HP WEBSITE TO CONTACT SUPPORT!!!)
Johanna: at 10:53:13:
Kindly go back to the webite
www.microsoft.com/HPStream and try to check if there is a contact support
Johanna: at 10:53:36:
Or a WEB FORM letter to fill out
You: at 10:53:43:

find contact support? i wouldve done that first if something was there
Johanna: at 10:54:48:
If that is the issue that will be issue from the HP
Johanna:
at 10:55:44:

It's a known issue and the we are providing the basic trouble shooting and still did not work we will refer them to HP to get issue resolced
Johanna: at 11:04:29:
We know that there are some issues like this if the basic trouble shooting is not applicable you need to be referred to the expert
Johanna: at 11:04:49:
That is why I'm reffering you to HP
Johanna: at 11:05:06:
And speak with the expert
(FIRST THEY DIDNT KNOW THERE WAS AN ISSUE. NOW AFTER I GET ANGRY, SHE TELLS ME ITS A KNOWN ISSUE!! hahahaha. THEN SHE TELLS ME HP ARE THE EXPERTS!!)
STAY AWAY FROM THEIR ONLINE SUPPORT!! They will refuse to help you. And waste hours of your life pretending to do something behind their keyboard.
