My laptop has a broken screen and I reset it. Now I can't set it up.

My HP laptop has a broken screen, the other day I was trying to reset it because I needed to clear everything off the laptop and it ended up getting stuck in a boot loop. I can get out of the boot loop by pressing f11 to get to the reset screen. But I can't go further because I can't see the screen. I cannot connect a VGA cable because there isn't a plug. Is there a way to connect to an external screen using hdmi?

My model is an HP Stream 14-ax010ca

I can get onto the reset screen but the reset fails everytime.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

andretran41 just checked the specs of your computer and it has an HDMI out. Yes, you can connect an external HDMI capable monitor/TV etc.

@oldturkey03 that isn't what I mean, I'm only able to connect the hdmi after it gets to the login screen, at any other point there won't be a signal. Is there any way to get the laptop to output a signal on the setup screen?

just out of curiosity, why? Your laptop does not use HDMI as primary display? If it does not, you will have to pull the drive and get the files while connecting the drive to an external case. Only other thing would be to replace the display.
