Heh, nice topic.
If you want get a screenshot (my solution):

I found method to take screenshots on HP Stream 7 and save them to disk - it's easy.

We have to have download and install that: app for Windows from the Windows Store

Now, if we doing that: (from forum HP: Re: Issues taking a screenshot on the HP Stream 7 - HP Support Forum - 4751305)

we can choose one more option - Chinese name of the installed application.
App automaticaly saves all screenshots in her folder in the Pictures (app creates a folder with Chinese name - you find without difficulty). Now we do not need to send screenshots via Internet because we have them on HDD.
Enjoy

Only want to turn off the screen not letting tablet goes to sleep?
Try: NirCmd - Windows command line tool
I made four short cuts: Screen off, log off, standby and power off and put them on start screen.

Fingure too fat?
Try: TouchMousePointer - virtual touchpad (on-screen mouse)
It's on screen touch pad.

For those who prefer win7 over win8, consider use Classic Shell - Start menu and other Windows enhancements

Below are quoted from this post:

Here's some tips on freeing up C: space without removing partitions or dual boot functionality:

Remove Hiberfil.sys

Run CCleaner

Move Pagefile.sys to another drive

Move Internet Explorer temporary web data to another drive

I've got a few things installed, and I have about 2 GB free on C:. Things before were dropping down to the 120 MB level which was not good!
