    I will not tell you if your Chromebook is compatible. Figure out what processor you've got and go to this link to see if your Chromebook is compatible: coolstar.org/
    This isn't mean to be a daily driver situation. It's simply a how-to for those of you who want to try it. I don't endorse doing this.
    You need a bootable USB drive with Windows 10 on it before you start.

    If you get stuck at the last step and your Chromebook won't boot from the USB, watch this video: • HELP!! Windows 10 Wont...

    Here's how to install Windows 10 on a Chromebook in 2018! Installing Windows 10 on a Chromebook is actually pretty easy and only take a few minutes to prepare for.
    In order to do this, you'll need a USB stick with Windows on it.
    Be sure to check this website to see if YOUR Chromebook is compatible. If it is, just follow these steps and you're ready to install Windows 10 on your Chromebook!
    - Turn off your device, open the back and remove the Write Protect Screw. (THIS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOUR CHROMEBOOK)
    - Press Esc + Refresh + Power
    - Press Ctrl + D and press Enter to enable developer mode
    - Press Ctrl + D to boot Chrome OS
    - Open a tab and press Ctrl + Alt + T
    - Type in "shell" and press Enter.
    - Paste the following into the shell and press enter
    cd ~; curl -L -O coolstar.org/c... && sudo bash setup-firmware.sh
    If you get stuck on screen with a rabbit and some yellow text, this is the fix for it: • HELP!! Windows 10 Wont...
    Others have reported trying a different USB port has worked for them as well.
    If your mouse, keyboard, etc. doesn't work, plug in an external mouse and keyboard to download the appropriate drivers from the coolstar.org website. DMing me about it isn't going to get you anywhere.
    /======= READ THIS =======/
    If anyone gets the corrupted download error (Firmware download checksum fail; download corrupted, cannot flash) while trying to flash go to this blog post and find the chromebox software command and run that instead and follow the same instructions:

      A lot of schools including mine use them because school work programs work fine on them and schools can buy a large amount of them because they are cheap. But still I would not buy one for normal home use because a desktop pc would be better.

    • @bradavon

      Cheap and easy to manage. Not everyone is technical and let's face it Windows needs done technical abilities. ChromeOS is very simple and when most people only use a web browser this a good thing.

    If you’re gonna be doing this on a chrome book with 2GB RAM and 16 GB Storage space like me, I recommend you do the following for space and memory
    1. Compress the drive by right clicking on local disk C and compress files and sub folders
    2 after that is done, open CMD as administrator and type: Compact.exe /CompactOS:always
    This will further compress the drive.
    3 install all available updates after this
    4. Go to %temp% and delete all files it lets you delete
    After that go to c:\windows\software distribution\download and delete everything in there (this is temporary update files that you no longer need)
    5. Right click local disk c, click disk cleanup, click clean up system files (this usually takes a while), tick everything there and press ok (this takes longer)
    These are a few tips I have learned myself after using a chrome book with 2GB memory and 16GB drive space and using it for a whole year in school (I brought my own device)
    Hope this helps!

      "Hardware write-protect enabled" usually indicates that there is some sort of write-protect screw on your Chromebook. I show how to remove this on an Acer C720 at 3:06 but yours might be different. I don't know all of the hardware write-protect options of any other Chromebooks since I only have the Acer C720 so *you'll* have to look up where yours is.

    Hey! Because I have such bad english ad I don't understand everything on this video, I want to ask that if my computer is not on the coolstar list, will I brake my computer if I do this? My computer is ASUS C423 CPU Intel 3350. Im just asking will this lead to a catastrophe if I do this?

      If your chromebook isn't listed on the coolstar.org website then it's not compatible and you shouldn't try this
