Can I use a CAC adapter to read a smart card? null

Hello, Evans! Thank you for your question. The HP Stream 11.6" (11-ak0012dx) uses Windows 10 in S mode. Windows 10 in S mode is streamlined for performance and security, restricting installation to only apps found in the Windows Store. While that does not mean it will not function, it may not be the best choice for using your CAC adapter as it most likely requires software from the adapter's website. While Windows 10 may be switched out of S mode, but doing so may also affect performance.
