Firstly, hello, I'm new to this site and these forums, it looks to be a great place!

Secondly, I have an HP Stream 14 that I bought a year or so ago for internet use and homework, but I am interested to know if it could run a lighter game such as CS: GO. I'm not looking for max settings obviously, but 30-40 fps at minimum settings is what I'm wondering if it could do. If anyone knows please let me know, thanks!

Also sorry if this isn't the correct category to put it under out I thought since it has to do with trying to run a game maybe it was fine...?

sadly, your laptop specs are too old and would not keep up with any of the current games. you may put everything at lowest settings but like what @oniichan said (0w0) / your gaming experience isnt so good. and you really need an external GPU.
even if it had one (you have forgot to set it in the GPUs control panel so it will be included in the benchmark), your CPU and RAM is too weak to keep up.

I once had a laptop with a i5 6200U and intelHD 520 and with 4gb ram. It would play on the lowest settings on 720P with 70-90fps. But if you play on a map with 20 players things do get laggy, especially when you walk in to smokes or something.

Hmm... alright. I also do have a desktop with an i3 6100 and 8gb of RAM, what could I expect out of that? And, if theoreticlly if I were to get a graphics amplifier with even something like a GT 710 would that be then playable or would my CPU bottleneck that?

Auf gt 710 is a very low end card. If ur looking for a budjet 1080p card, buy a gtx 1030. It costs only 70$ and it can play modern games on 1080p and on mid to high settings.
