Most Chromebooks include a write-protect screw on the motherboard that prevents you from installing any operating system. To get Windows 10 on the machine, you’ll need to remove the bottom shell, remove the screw from the motherboard, and then flash new firmware.
Is it possible to change OS of Chromebook?
Chromebooks don’t officially support Windows. You normally can’t even install Windows—Chromebooks ship with a special type of BIOS designed for Chrome OS.
What other OS can be installed on Chromebook?
That’s one reason why Chromebooks have long supported not just the internet-friendly Chrome OS, but Android, Linux, and now Windows — yes, Windows — as well.
Can I install Windows 11 on my Chromebook?
What you need to know. It’s now possible to dual-boot Windows 11 and Chrome OS onto select Chromebooks. At the moment, only three models support dual-booting, and they all run AMD Ryzen 3000-series CPUs.
What happens when Chromebook is no longer supported?
Older Chromebooks have older hardware parts, and these parts eventually lose the ability to get the latest updates. If your Chromebook is more than 5 years old, you might see this message: “This device will no longer receive software updates. You can continue using your computer but should consider upgrading.”
