Thank you so much 👍 for your big shaoutout sir ! I am glad everyone is loving the installation process,Thanks again for speeding awareness.
Will this method get automatic updates or will we have to go through the process for each update?
After installation my hard drive does't appear in the boot options anymore. Any idea?
@@sSstormxXx Same situation over here, it installed successfully but it won't boot
Can anyone help me? My Notebook uses the Intel Celeron 723 1.2 GHz processor, 250HD, 2 RAM.
I did everything according to the orientation of the video, but when I go from boot after installed, the message appears: Missing OS. Can anyone help me, my PC is compatible?
Hi, is it possible to remove chrome os and go back to windows?
Thank you !!! this method allowed me to update my old chromebook acer c720p which no longer had an update (and could not launch android apps). Everything works perfectly !! the chromebook now allows me to use android applications!
Which CPU is in your C720p?
5 Stars! Had a little trouble running the brunch files but eventually got them to work. I put this on 3 old inspiron 11 laptops and it improved the speed extremely well. Would recommend you do this to any old computer that you don't use. Perfect for kids who need a computer for school work and just simple web usage like RUclips. For the price of a 32G flash drive, you can turn any old computer into a perfectly suitable chromebook.
i was installing chrome os in my old laptop but when i restart it didnt detect os so i had to install linux. but its fine linux does not need fast computers, so my laptop is runnig 5x faster then it was.
do u need 32 gb?
I am NII from Ghana.... followed step by step and its working perfectly...… thanks bro
Extremely impressed with this. I made the "magic mint USB stick" 6 months ago when you released this video. Recently I treated myself to an Intel amber lake Y SBC PC. Today I came across the old USB stick, and thought "why not?". Wow! It's awesome 😃

@@muminamir3755 give up
This is an awesome video! Thank you so much for putting your time into making it! I think Chrome OS with both Google Play Android apps and Linux apps is the perfect mix for a modern Linux environment. I mean, I never got super excited about running Linux alone, nor Chrome OS. Now I can have the best of not one, not two, but of three worlds! I'm so excited!
Well, there is Anbox
@@circuit10 Yeah, I know. I've tested it before, but I was very disappointed that it didn't run most of the apps I personally needed it to and, those that it ran, it was super buggy. But thanks for mentioning it, anyway.

Finally Chrome OS . I was tired of those ChromiumOS videos.
Why? They both do the same thing.
@@robobox7595 chrome os updates automatically though, you won't be left behind on new features.
@ Chrome and Chromium are both useless crap.

Chromium OS was develop by google and Microsoft
@@1bouch Microsoft doesn't develop anything in chromeos, except for maybe contributions to linux, and I don't know if they've made any
Outstanding! I got this to install and run on an circa-2014 Asus T100TA (with a
Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU Z3740 @ 1.33GHz, which is a Bay Trail proc, with 2GB RAM and 64GB SDD), after not being able to get CloudReady to USBboot. It's a 64bit proc, but the UEFI is 32bit. I couldn't get Mint 19 liveUSB to to boot, but I was able to get the ElementaryOS 5.1.7 distro to liveUSB boot. Once I got that (and after changing the install.sh script to account for the correct drive), Chrome OS installed pretty smoothly. So far, most all the hardware is working on Chrome OS, although not the webcam. I used Brunch r86 k4.19 stable 20201014 and Rammus 86. Thanks!
Your the reason why all my electronics still work. I can't tell you how much I enjoy watching your videos 😎 thank you.
works without any major issues. Keyboard backlight doesn't work, and it doesnt get automatic updates, but a great educational demo.
This brought new life to my expensive google pixelbook gen1 laptop. Google dropped support for it and i had loaded the coolstar full UEFI firmware and was already running cloudready but this gives me back full chrome support and google play.

I love your videos man. You really helped me out. I turned a severely under-powered windows 10 laptop into a Chromebook. Its perfect for on the go note taking and word processing.
Almost had me until you added the Android app and see that it contains ads- thank you. You've resolidified my resolve towards Linux.

This is great! Thanks for such a clear tutorial. Took 20 minutes and done. My Surface Pro 3 is now a Chromebook
How? I did everything correctly and then of course the very last step I don't get the "delete everything and reboot" option I get a stupid "syntax error near unexpected token"
Install android x86
surface laptops are pretty good tho.
I like how your videos are so easy to wrap your head around
This is amazing!! You have just brought life back to my old Chromebox that stopped getting updates! Thank you so much!!!!!!
Hi how did you install on a chromebox ? Would love to do this on an old chromebook.
I was literally looking this up yesterday and couldnt find a good video toturial, THANK YOU
Thanks for doing a video on this. I tried some really janky ways of getting actual chrome os on one of old Surface Pro tablets, but it never worked. I'm about to try this method!
UPDATE 2:26am - That worked perfectly! I now have Chrome OS on my Surface Pro 2 and so far everything is working without any problems.
UPDATE Next day: Everything is working really well....except sleep. The display will turn off, but only for a minute or two and then it comes back on. When I specifically put it to sleep, it won't come out of sleep. I have to reboot unfortunately. I'm going to try on a desktop and see if that persists. If anyone has an idea why it won't sleep properly, I am all ears!
im using a surface 3 and i got the cgpt and abuntu erros. did you get them also?
the developer of brunch uses a surface as his test machine for brunch
@@OmarGaribayAztlanCloud I had to install the figlet, pv and cgpt apps before it would continue.
@@Viking8888 Thanks man. It sounds stupid but the error i got was because it disconnected from the internet but now everything is good snf running on the surface. I do have an all in one Dell that doesn't let me install chrome os but I was able to leave Linix Mint so it'll be fine for now
@@OmarGaribayAztlanCloud Is sleep working for you?

Yeah Microsoft will like that lol
I followed all the steps and it works, my old laptop is alive. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this! It worked amazing on My Acer Aspire E15 (E5-575). I replaced the HDD with a 256GB Silicon Power SATA SSD and it now runs chromeos like a beast! ChromeOS is so amazing on lower end hardware, just like Linux is (which I guess it kind of is)!

Big thanks for good explain and method, it works with me in hp pc 6200 pro with 80 and 90 google image 😊❤
While I'm personally comfortable going traditional linux? For people who aren't, or really only need chrome/android apps? This is a good way to breath some life in older hardware.
It's the perfect middle ground for doing everything.
I like linux but I'm still very new to it.
With this I can get about 90% of the apps I like very quickly and comfortably but then I can still get some of my games and things like gimp with linux.
I am more comfortable with a full blown linux distro, but I do not want Chrome and all of its google stuff to contaminate mental my workspace. I only boot into windows once in a long while for chrome syncing.
I just triple booted this on top of linux and windows. It feels faster than windows and the use of android apps to substitute is working well for me.
@Adrián B.V. yeah
Easily installed no need to bug test and asking Google for 15 different terminals while not knowing what's going on.
I'm talking about the average person trying to run a laptop nice and simply
Not someone moving too an entirely new way of thinking.
@Adrián B.V. I'm talking about commands not literal terminals dude
Adrián B.V. FYI, graphical acceleration is supported as of ten versions ago.
just a comment, you don't really have to go back to windows to edit your install script. do it on linux mint..
I was thinking the same thing. Only thing I can figure is he's catering to Windows users, but it's still easy to do on Mint. Especially since he's already directing users to open that folder. 🤷♂️
Yes, this is a really crazy suggestion IMHO. Even a simple text editor, like nano from the command line, or Mousepad or whatever is installed by default as the GUI alternative, can be explained in a few seconds even to a "dumb windows mouse user", most of which won't have Notepad++ on their Windows box anyway. They will run into trouble due to the line endings anyway when they try to edit the file with Notepad, or even more trouble after having tried Word instead...
@@BenReese but the file opens as read only, so no way to edit the file directly or even save on desktop, edit and copy back doesnt work. I think because usb is mounted as cd drive, any way around this?
I went back to windows and edit that way instead.
@@benhetland576 For everyone that keep saying you can just edit your install script, that's the catch with this being a live cd is that the drive is mounted as read only. Unless a persistant store was created as part of the live cd OR chromeOS was actually copied into the live cd system image, otherwise you really can't just "edit" it. The alternative is to just copy the contents into the live cd home directory (if your drive is large enough) and then modify it there. If your drive isn't large enough, copy just the install.sh, and change the directory to ChromeOS-install.sh and rammus_recovery.bin to absolute paths instead of relative.
Yeah... I was thinking the same thing, he was running a live environment which is limited but OFC it can edit files!!!
For those who have Nvidia GPU and are getting stuck at the white Chrome OS loading screen, here is the fix - you need to add this line "module_blacklist=nouveau" to the kernel command line ( just after "cros_debug" ) in the grub menu. Hope this helps 🙂
So, this will make sure the open source NVIDIA drivers don't load right? Does that mean it uses the binary drivers from NVIDIA? Is there a way to configure that?
@@megan_alnico Sorry I haven't actually tested the graphics acceleration for nvidia cards. As of now intel works perfectly, For nvidia I'll have to test with some linux apps too.
Hi, I have an iMac 27 inch late 2013 with Nvidia GPU and I get stuck at Patches are being Applied which the last step to start chrome os. this is related to Nvidia GPU as you stated above? How can I edit the kernel command line? Using what app and on which system? thank you!
I came across your video and I never thought I needed this in my life! Had an old Acer laptop with an atom processor lying about, which had about 500-600MB of free space after win 10 update. The install was a breeze. Glad I went with samus instead of rammus recovery file. I almost went with rammus. Got a bit nervous when I removed the USB drive and the screen froze after the installation. Restarted and ChromeOS booted normally. Had another minor scare when the screen said "Loading bunch framework" and below that "ChromeOS rootfs is being rebuilt due to an update or a change in options. Please be patient as it can take a few minutes" waited a while and finally got myself a Chromebook! Sorry for the long comment though. Went through the other tutorials, but yours is just perfect. I'm now subscribed!
PS: I have 32 gigs of total storage on my laptop. As per the settings ChromeOS uses about 14.4GB which left me with 17.6GB.
same here with a 5 year old old asus t100han transformer book. tried multiple linux distros only to find out that chrome os works best on it driver wise. did you find out how to update chromeos manually considering you installed it 4 months before i did? it doesn't find updates for me and im on rammus build 94.0.
@@jtz7070 So far I haven't updated it yet. I doubt sammus will be updated. In case of rammus, i suppose you'll need to go through the whole process considering the version of the file changes. Since the version is not exactly official, we won't get automatic updates. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find a way. Let me know if you're able to. Good luck!
@@nitishpai788 it's a recovery image that you ar eflashing onto the device so you are probably right. i was just thinking that there might be a way for it to find updates anyway.
Hello, I have Acer Aspire E5-522G AMD Laptop. Shall I go with SAMUS or continue with RAMMUS, Thanks...
I would love to see emulation testing on this
I wanted to try out chromeos before buying a Chromebook. Thanks man ! Worked perfectly 👌
why do you want to use burnt garbage
@@joedew4183 Maybe I'm just too old or something, but I don't really know what ChromeOS is, let alone why anyone would use it?
Your tutorial is remarquably precise, detailled, clear, concise and easy to understand, you are a natural born teacher. I installed Chrome OS on a ASUS S 551 L with a 1 Tb HHD and Core i7 Intel CPU and a touch screen. The only problem is Google play that do not work. But I still am very pleased with the result.
Did you try installing apk for the apps that you need ?

@@MBTodayOfficial yes it sucks so sluggish
Blinks in this joke is old
One important detail that was not mentioned in the video/description. For this to work, your machine needs to support UEFI booting and disabling secure boot. Lots of old machines only have legacy booting (BIOS). Found this out after spending a few hours on a couple of old laptops. Installation worked fine, but they just won't boot because of lack of UEFI.
So is there any other way to install on a laptop that has legacy only? Thanks..
@@wookieefer4468 No, not installation problem. It won’t boot. Chrome OS only supports UEFI boot.
If your computer doesn’t support UEFI boot, you can try CloudReady. There is another variation of Chrome OS and it’s free.
@@michaelmwk Yes, I have tried it and it works, unfortunately it does not include Android system support (No Android Services). Thank you..

I believe this is more vital to use towards Cpu's like Intel Duo core 2, or the Intel core I3. Because CPU's like the i5 and i7 are still used widely, and produce minimal thermal issues.
Not necessarily core i3
Thx mate, this will defentely convince my parents to let me reinstall that old dustblower with a faster operating system than windows, they're sceptical about linux because they don't know it(I use linux everyday and have it installed on all my computer, it's totally amazing) but they know what chromeos can do.
the funny part is that Chrome os is basicaly a linux distro(I know it's not but it's as if)

Fantastic video, the instructions work perfectly! Has anyone come across an issue whereby Chrome OS would freeze at random intervals when playing a video or an Android game? I've installed it on a couple of devices with pretty decent specs (Core i5, 16GB RAM, 128GB SSD) and noticed this issue, everything would lock up for around 15 seconds. Sound would stutter and you cannot click on anything on screen. It would then recover itself like nothing had happened and proceed smoothly until the next instance occurred.
Great tutorial, thanks for sharing, I have a question here, will Chrome OS automatically receive future updates ? Thanks
I to would like to know. Mine is on 84 and 85 is out and when I hit check for updates it says I'm up to date. So I'm not sure updating works.

Brilliant Job! Finally got Chrome OS up and running on a Linx 12X64 2 in 1 Tablet / PC.. Everything functioning out of the box. Many Thanks.

I get a missing OS problem after installing ChromeOS.
Me too
Put Chrome OS on an old Surface 3 (non Pro). 3 things I've noticed didn't work...microphone, front and rear cameras. Otherwise it actually works pretty well. After a reboot the cellular modem showed up. Thanks for the guide!
Hey is your pen working
So I just want to clarify, when you do a sudo reboot after you install chrome os do you at that point yank the USB out? Assuming the PC or laptop would actually want to restart. Or does it shut off and then you can safely remove the USB? Also if I have a blank ssd installed in a laptop can I still boot into the laptops bios? Cheers.
To answer your questions:
1. You pull the USB out just before rebooting.
2. Yes, you can still access the BIOS. The BIOS is stored on the motherboard.

ok so i thought this was easy but after i reboot it tells me PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable PXE-M0F: Exiting PXE ROM.
Installed and mostly working, No Trackpad/Cursor, Trackpad was working in LinuxMint. Just installed CloudReady and trackpad working
I hope those issues are resolved by now since this is a lot better than cloudready
@@Boba_Fett1980
Will this get updates like cloudready I would like to try this again.
@@matthewwhitted9179 Not too sure, I'm not trying this out yet until I get my new pc in a couple of days
we have to rethink the definition of an old machine. My old machine doesn't have UEFI and has barely 64bit. That "old" laptop is way better than the one i'm currently using.
Hahaha...same to me, my old vaio doesn't have eufi boot.....
He sad "Old" not prehistorical.
Mine didn't have UEFI, but still boot to the USB Drive in to the Linux Menu, just wouldn't install because I had an i686 Atom CPU. :(
Tony Valenti are sure its bcause ur CPU?
Abdul Kharis Hmm ... Don’t know for sure, but I got the sane error as Roberto. Do you know a way around it?
I got a problem of "not enough space available" when launching the install.sh even though the hard drive was completely empty :o
If someone has the same problem just format the whole drive as a single ext4 partition with gparted and launch this command :
sudo tune2fs -m 0 /dev/sda1
With the terminal, it fixed my problem ! :D
Thanks bro!
Thank you so much ETA! Got several laptops back to life and made some cash!
found out that you will need "samus" if you plan to run on hardware before 2015
rammus wouldn't install
I tried this twice, and on both occasion the installation failed. Everything went fine until I booted the device; my laptop just won't boot with chrome OS, it asks me to insert a boot device again.
aah good times squeezing a little more life out of these devices LOVE IT
I'm gonna be busy tomorrow transforming all of my old computers into a Chromebook :-) Thanks for thr video^^
use chrome os flex instead
@@ad1340yt As I was watching the video, the part when I have to unplug the USB Device. Do I unplug the USB Drive After "Sudo Reboot" or Before?
After I rebooted from Linux mint the boot window said "no operating system found"
Yay! More google
(Install windows or Linux )
Exactly. Not sure who would ever want to install a browser as an operating system instead of just using a full fledged OS like Windows or Linux.
Smokey Devil playstore games. (Not worthy in my opinion but every one do what they want with their PCs)
Smokey Devil that was my point of this comment I use Chrome it’s decent but it lakes the ability to even run advanced apps/other X3
Just saying
Imix Muan and you are the new clown?
Imix Muan I like MacOS but I gotta disagree with you there.
I hope this works because my laptop was too slow on Windows 10 so I downgraded to Windows 8.1 BUT the WIFI was not working soo I tried installing Windows 7 Home BUT it didn’t work SOO I am stuck with Windows 8.1 and I am now doing the steps on how to turn my laptop to Chrome OS I’m just waiting for the Chrome OS file to finish downloading and I am hoping it works.
Edit: Anyway if you’re wondering about what laptop I’m going to turn into Chrome OS, it is ‘HP Stream’ with these specs: ‘2GB RAM’ ‘32GB Hard Drive’ ‘64-BIT’
Also, I’m looking forward to try playing PUBG.
And at first I was scared to install Chrome OS because I use my laptop to play games. But, when I got my PS5 I hardly use it anymore so I don’t really care about it or whatever happens to it (but I still hope this works) and we only have 2 weeks of online school and this Sunday is the last week. Unless COVID cases goes up more... anyways I’ll be back when it’s finished.
After Installation is Finished: HOLY SH*T IT WORKED!!! And I gotta say... it is actually 99% faster than using Windows 10 HOME. I LOVE IT THANK YOU SOO MUCH!!! But it took me hours just to install because your boot menu is different than mine. Mine looks old while yours looks modern and more organized. But anyway... THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! I hope I can use it for online school now. ☺️✌️
Just wanted to say thank you. I followed your guide after using another and your works perfect. Only problem with the other is that installing Chrome OS from that, the playstore only appeared when i booted from USB. Thankfully i solved that. It could have been as you said, the type of harddrive i was using. Also, i noticed instead of saying Chrome OS was installed, it just said Brunch was installed.
Hello! Everything seemed to go smoothly until the chrome OS installation. First it says Brunch installed (and not Chrome OS) and when I reboot it the PC just says there is no operating system.
Try reinstalling
Or taking 2 usb of 8gb each
Then installing
