Install Windows 11 (Or Any OS) on a Chromebook (2023)

- Chromebooks are a fantastic option for a budget laptop, especially when compared to similarly priced windows computers. They're of decent build quality for the price, and crucial things like the trackpad and keyboard are actually somewhat usable. One thing that I can't appreciate, however, is chromeOS. It's meant to be a lightweight and easy to run OS, but that comes at the cost of not being able to run, well, most apps that you might want use. Luckily, there is a way to install Windows 11, or any other OS, on your laptop.

For the people who removed the WP screw and it still says WP is enabled, make sure to totally remove the mesh around where the screw was. I had this happen to me so I reopened the laptop and scraped off that sticky mesh and it worked after that
I must say this is an excellent walkthrough. All the little tips and tricks were sprinkled in, and the process was easy to follow.
Very good job sir, thank you.
Thank you so much brandon. My parents really needed a windows computer and I had a chromebook laying around. I used this walkthrough so thank you so much mate. Have a great day and bless you bro.
Thank You so much! I had a old Chromebook 3 lying around that was colecting dust, but now I can use my Chromebook for traveling, much apreciated.
Thank you for the fantastic content! Your work has been truly inspiring and informative. It has enriched my knowledge and sparked my curiosity. I'm grateful for the valuable insights you've shared, and I look forward to more of your content in the future.
This is quite literally one of the best walkthroughs on the entirety of CZcams
It's the only one I've seen that actually works!
This man is speaking FACTS!
This really was. I now have Windows 10 going on my Chromebook 11 G3. I was afraid because I tried doing this last week but mrchromebox’s site was down. All working now!
bro where can i buy the 64gb drive of windows 11 for my hp chromebook x360 14a
@@dhanushv7727 i have that chromebook i kind of just lived with it when i put windows on it and it can not be upgraded
Sublime tutorial! Coming from some one not versed in computer things at all. Thank you!
Hi Brandon just wanted to know when you said or download windows instead of upgrading to a flash drive if I install windows where do i put the download or do i just download and leave it? Thanks
Thank you so much! It was helpful....The way you explain the content is very professional...so that anyone can understand...go ahead!
Howdy, just got to the step where you check to see if your device is supported with this process. All of the requirements were check yes green except for one, Audio(HDMI). Will I still be able to convert my device, HP Chromebook x360 11 G1 EE, to Windows or is my model incompatible with this process
Just a quick question I had to remove my battery in order for this to happen do I plug the battery back in or will it affect anything?
thanks for not showing a fix to the error message
if sudo is running in a container, you may need to adjust the container configuration to disable the flag
how is the battery backup on windows 11 os. is it still same battery time as on chrome os or any changes?
Would my chromebook styles still work even after changing to windows?
I have Acer Chromebook model 317, when I hit esc/refresh/power keys for few seconds as you said the screen goes blank and never comes back like you turned off the laptop, already disconnected the battery before this?
is there a way to install it on an external ssd
Thank you! Your video was the only good ressource I could find for the whole process of how to get Windows on my kid's HP Careena Chromebook.
I had to power it on with the battery unplugged, in order to disable hardware write protection, and then disable software write protection from within ChromeOS, before I could proceed, but thankfully the paid audio driver had since been made free.
Good work bro!
Could you make this audio driver available ? I've been looking for awhile and I can"t find it.
This is the only video ive seen that ACTUALLY works. Thanks a ton.
Hi Brandon great video! I'm struggling with one part during the install, when I click "Custom install" then try to delete the disk 0 partitions I get an error: "We couldn't delete the selected partition. [Error: 0x800701b1]" I've been trying to troubleshoot this for a few days now and getting no luck.
Note: I'm attempting to install windows 10 on a Dell Chromebook 13 (Lulu)
Any suggestions?
ezt csinalja a kogle meg tamatak a laptopomat en vagyok adosa ja ja
Press shift and f10 to open cmd during windows install
Then type diskpart
Select disk 0 or whatever drive is the right amount of storage

Hope this works!
This happened to me after i removed the usb while doing this process, if you did try making sure the usb is plugged in while your doing the installation.

I have a Dell Latitude 5300 2-in-1 chromebook, I tried installing windows os on it, however the keyboard and trackpad doesn't work. Do you have any drivers for these?

Are there any functional windows 11 audio drivers for dell chromebook 3400 with intel celeron n4000?
hey bro can you check the model of the dell latitude 5400 chromebook because i cant find that thing that i need to remove or unscrew so the dev mode can be activated

hello i have done everything in this video but for the drivers the touch pad dose not seem to work for some reason. do you know how to fix that?
Hello Brandon Yen. It asks me for a password when i'm doing the cmd tab stuff when in developer mode. This is only after I enter the last command and the one before it. Also, question; is it reversable any point before the cmd or at the cmd when u get that 'menu' made in the cmd tab created. Also, question again; do we have to follow that process, or if we magically find a way to get it to boot off of the usb or portable drive with windows then does it do the same?
What's the password?
@@takenwhiteknight357 I have no clue thats the thing.
@@Ultr6 oh yeah you likr have to leave admin reset and reenter or something should work but to make sure i got thus from reddit so just search up what it is and the password and it will tell you that you didnt need one and to follow steps i cant clearly remember so search up what the password to chromebox or whatever it was

"Due to recent changes in ChromeOS' security settings, you may need to use a new set of commands to run the Firmware Utility Script under ChromeOS. Running it under Linux can use the same old one-line command.
Also, you must execute these commands **as a normal/non-root user**. Running them as root will break things. " - but without root access the SHELL command is not executed. I do not understand
Thats talking about the difference between the chronos and root users once you are already in the shell.

Hello, what I would recommend is the following:
Check the board name of your chromebook: www.aboutchromebooks.com/news/how-to-find-your-chromebook-board-name-and-why-you-want-to
Then you can search for the board name on the supported chromebook list.

I literally just put Ubuntu MATE on mine. I'd say do it. Mine flies on Ubuntu. I didn't keep Windows on it cuz it left 1GB left space after the OS took up the rest of the 32. Hm ..
