How to Install Windows 10 on a Chromebook 2019 (READ THE DESCRIPTION)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 лип 2024
- In this video I'll show you how to install Windows 10 on a compatible Chromebook. I will NOT tell you if YOUR Chromebook is compatible. I show how to find out IN THE VIDEO. I also tell how to find out in the blog post linked below. If doing just THAT is too much for you to handle, then this tutorial isn't for you. If you ask if your Chromebook is compatible, I will most likely delete your comment. It's THAT simple.
Because of Windows requirements having changed since this video was made, you'll need AT LEAST 32GB OF HARD DRIVE SPACE. Adding a USB drive or an SD card will not work. It has to be AT LEAST 32GB OF HARD DRIVE SPACE. I don't know how else to say it: YOUR HARD DRIVE NEEDS TO BE AT LEAST 32GB.
In late 2018 I made a video about how to install Windows 10 on a Chromebook. The video was popular, but it missed several things and caused a fair amount of confusion. I made follow up videos that ended up leading people on a wild goose chase. I want to apologize for that so I created this new tutorial. It is more in-depth and, hopefully, easier to follow along with. The new video shows, again, hopefully, all of the steps to make this process as easy as possible.

No it's not going to give you a virus.
@Royal House Language School How about you fuck off. You don't know what you're talking about and you're spreading misinformation.
bro that happens with windows too. its just more annoying on chromebook
DB Tech What did Royal House say, apparently he/she deleted his/her comment.
Rodrigo J. Gramajo yeah I wanna know too
I’ve watched countless videos on chromebook modifications and yours was the most comprehensive, complete, and entertaining i look forward to your videos in the future big ups🙏👌
Thanks so much!! I made a version of this video last year and missed a bunch of stuff, so I took all the most asked questions and concerns and all that from a year old video and tried to make this one as in-depth as possible. I appreciate you watching and commenting :)
Great video brother! Well put together and thought out. Unfortunately my Chromebook proc wasn't on the list :(
Kudos to your hardwork. We truly appreciate it.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! It would help me out a bunch if you would consider subscribing or if you'd consider other ways of supporting the channel here: support.dbte.ch/
Yess
theres a more simple way for me to find out if my chromebook has an intel processor. theres a sticker on my chromebook that says intel inside. lol
Okay. Good.
yeah mine has intel but still isnt compatible
i was that right after i went through the prosses lmao
Me2
lol mine said intel, tried installing windows but didnt work cause its a intel atom
After I click custom installation, and it asks “where do you want to install Windows?” It says “no signed device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click ok.”
You were so helpful, I cant thank you enough. With the help of your vid and the pinned comment, I was able get windows successfully on my chromebook! I was frightened before seeing this video because cool star wasnt working for me until I used the chromebox download. You are the best!
Awesome! I'm glad the video was helpful!
How can I upgrade soldered components
Thanks for the this Tech for Dummies video, this is literally the only way my dumb brain could absorb the information in a clear way and actually understand what i'm doing other than "blog man said do this so imma wing it"
Honestly, it's why I make videos like this. Blogs are great for some, but some people (myself included) like to SEE what's going on rather than read about what they should be seeing. I'm glad the video was helpful :)
@@DBTechYT I totally agree as you can actually see what’s going on on your screen, and what’s supposed to be going on
You're so easy to understand and you explain everything so well.
Thanks!!
If anyone gets the corrupted download error while trying to flash go to his blog post in the description and find the chromebox software command and run that instead and follow the same instructions.
Comment pinned! Hopefully more people will see this!!
DB Tech thanks, great tutorial by the way!
Yes, I'm having the same problem. "Firmware download checksum fail; download corrupted, cannot flash."
@MattVideo Productions Thanks!!
@Robert Vallejos, then you need to do what @MattVideo Productions said to do. The link is in the description of the video.
Thank you man God bless you I was having great problem with acer touchpad mouse driver after installing win10. I was searching the whole internet for drivers, drivers search programs on torrents nothing and after 1 year I accidental found your youtube video. Many thanks!!!
Glad to hear that
just got my chromebook, don't have all the external stuff so i'll have to come back once i get those, but thank you so much for this in depth tutorial...looks like it might work for me .
Thank you so much. Windows 10 is so much easier to deal with than ubuntu...
Dude, mega respect for still responding to people comments an entire year later. You need a crown
Lol thanks
I have the same laptop he does and the second command on his blog worked. Thank you so much for the help!!
Glad to hear it!
31:02 when i click my thing it only says “system volume information” and nothing else pops up HELP
^^^ please help
After converting MBR to GPT it installed right away. Great tutorial
Awesome! I'm glad the video was helpful!
Hi, how did you do this? WOuld be a great help to know what you mean here as I get right to the final stage where I select boot from USB, and it gets stuck with the white rabbit loading screen,
I did it. Mine worked everything worked perfectly :) thank you so much
Awesome! Thanks for letting me know :)
Thanks for the all the information. I was able to install windows 10 on a Lenovo Yoga 11e Cromebook. And it works perfectly for what i need it for.
Thanks Again!
Great to hear!
You need much more subs! Really, really good video. Thank you!
Thanks!! I'm working on growing the channel and have been doing okay at it. If you know anyone who's looking to sub, definitely send them my direction :)
Sure thing! Haha :D.
We truly appreciate it.
I'm guessing mine wont work since mines a Mediatek MT8381 processor and not a AMD or Intel processor so I am guessing mine wont work but this is a very good tutorial and you are very slow and will let people finish their stuff before you go ahead and that's a very good attitude. You've earned yourself another subscriber!
You make things clear to understand. Kudos!
installed aswell,thank you so much mate,great work :)
Awesome!!
thanks man, some guy on facebook asked me about this. I went to coolstar and no go. His machine is the weak asus chromebook.
Thank you kind sir for all your efforts here. You saved me a lot of time after I wasted 3 hours just figuring out that a chromebook can't use the Microsoft store! You helped me quickly realize I need a different solution. Bless you 🙏 ♥️ 🙌 💖
Great to hear!
Thank you so much 😊 your the best#always watching your videos and every instruction I follow works
Thanks! I'm glad the video was helpful :)
It works! My chromebook grew an extra window.
It only works with an intel cpu
I am new to a chrome book does it have windows 10 on it
@@Memes-ld2fr Not anymore :)
I had problems but ended fixing all of them from removing the write-protect screw to changing the script and using mr.chromebox's and finally having to remake the bootable USB because it wasn't working. BUT IT WORKED!! I don't recommend it to kids without permission from their parents tho.
For Me, the keyboard worked during setup while the trackpad didn't work at that moment. Great Video!
I am trying to install windows 10 on my Asus Chromebook. There wasn't a write protect screw , but I was able to disable the write protect by disabling the battery. After downloading the shell script , the only options I have to click is #2 and #3 with no option to click on #1, any advice that you can give on this?
When I’m ready to download the files on cool star what do I NEED to download? All the files or just the ones you show in the video?
That's why I made the video. You need to follow the instructions in the video just like I showed.
Chrome OS cannot open .exe and run other programm files. You can also say that Chrome OS is a great OS for a mobile device. But Chrome has a built-in setting that if you want, you can turn it into Linux which can run programms
Dbtech I found a way to make a usb drive on android if your chrome book was made after 2017 install windows 10 iso install iso 2 usb plug in the Ian select the drive and the app will make it bootable
2:19 there is also a app on google play called Cpu Z by CUPID that will also tell you the cpu model
Manny Berumen so ur telling me that my chrome book has 6 cores -_-
@@purekryt6961 it most likely does. This is a well known app that is used by pros an is found on a variety of operating systems through downloads through their site
not all chromebooks have the play store
@@swordcube you might be able to get it at this website www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html
how do you know how many gigs you have?
Man thank u so much i was saving money for a laptop but now i installed Ubuntu for web development and its amazing i tried First The one how to download Ubuntu on chromebook It worked but i Had to press cntrl+L but this tutorial is amazing and Ubuntu is running amazingly thank u So much sir i Hope u have a great day
thank you very much DB Tech for this awesome tutorial..also worked on windows 10 lite OS..
Great 👍

@Josh topia Thanks!
i got to step five and when i was download/ updating it, it said "Firmware download checksum fail; download corrupted, cannot flash." what do i do?
What about lenovo crome book os
@Chirlyne H What about it? Please start your own thread. It's a pain in the ass to dig through here to find your thread-jacking comment.
@Nathaniel Garcia It means either your download failed or you have write-protect enabled. Please start your own thread. It's a pain in the ass to dig through here to find your thread-jacking comment. That's why I'm just now finding this comment 5 days later.
thank you for such a great tutorial 👍🏼👍🏼
I'm glad it was helpful!
Even tho it may not work on my school chromebook I'm still glad that it's possible to do it, so thank you for this. Cause I hate the ChromeOS software cause you literally can't do anything interessting with it
if it has the play store on it you could maybe get some more games on the thing
Very in depth video, step by step was 99% accurate. 10/10 video
Awesome!
thank you for this. i was literally about to buy another laptop for $170.
Glad I could help!
If I have a touch screen hp chrome will I still have the touch screen when I install the windows 10
YES
Bro i really appreciate it, I need this for school because you cant annotate on Chromebook zoom, and windows computers are extremely expensive. Thanks.
Everything has gone great so far but it's still saying "Fw WP: Enabled" even after I removed the write protect screw. I don't know whats wrong with it
Depending on the chromebook the screw may be different, try opening it back up and checking the wp screw slot for any gunk or residue in it, in which case, clean it with rubbing alcohol on a q tip once the battery is unplugged.
Probably remove wrong screw
I want to hug you! It is the best one! I do not have to restart it do anything risky!

Looks like I gotta buy myself a mouse 😀 but everything worked beautifully!! Thanks for this amazing tutorial!
Awesome! I'm so glad it helped!
Any idea why my cpu wont go over 50% utilization and stays at base clock speed of .9ghz?
I've messed with the power options profile and nothing works.
It stays at .9ghz no matter the load.
Omg thank you so much!
I'm glad the video was helpful
i have hp chromebook 14 amd how install windows 10
shell ERROR: unknown command
develpoer mode
Yeah. What savage gamer said. It means you aren't in developer mode.
Hola! I follow your guide with an Acer C740 C4PE and it works great.
Thank you. I think that this tutorial is the best.
Great to hear! Thanks for letting me know :)
Thank you so much bro, I needed windows 10 but i own a chrome book lmaoo, you singlehandedly saved me a large chunk of change.
Great tutorial, i didn’t have any issues except it gave me the error when installing the firmware which was an easy fix.
Awesome!!
How did you fix that??
********* i’m pretty sure he literally tells you in the video
THIS IS AMAZING!!!
You are amazing
great thank you it worked on my c720
edit: I did it with 16 GB memory (I use it as an remote client)

@@DBTechYT it said firmware download checksum fail; download corrupted, cannot flash.
what do i do!!!
Read pinned comment.
@@jessegilmore3136 same case with me
I found my old hp Chromebook x2 and it took a bit, i had to remove my battery to remove write protection, and then use the mrchrombox script from your website but its working and i installed tiny 11, great videos as alway sir take my like
Hell yeah!
HA MY CHROMEBOOK IS NOW WINDOWS 10. With a little patience and listening I was able to do it! Thank goodness!
Reading is fundamental
Awesome!
Is it possible to dualboot chromeOS and windows or do you need like chromiumos
I made that video already: ua-cam.com/video/G8RBJhV74mY/v-deo.html
When I click install now it says my computer is missing a driver. What do I do to fix it?
Sounds like something went wrong when your USB was created. Reference this Microsoft web page: support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2755139/a-media-driver-your-computer-needs-is-missing-or-a-required-cd-dvd-dri
@Christhe9th WHAT is fake? Installing Windows on a Chromebook? Nope. It's not fake. There are a select number of Chromebooks this works on. As long as your Chromebook has the right processor in it. Has to be certain Intel processors. ARM processors won't work.
No you don't. You can make a bootable Windows USB on a Chromebook.
Christhe9th it’s not fake lol
@@DBTechYT can you install windows on a samsung chromebook
When I type the code in the first time it worked and once I got to the last step of rebooting it had a thing that said that the download failed so I tried to do the code again and it said that curl: remote file name has no length
Can any body help me with that pls
Dude i did all of this and when i put my usb flash in the chromebook and try to boot it from usb it doesnt work it just take's be back to the boot option menu idk why but it worked before but windows didnt want to boot because it dont have enough disk space (so how do i fix it)
He did tell you that you need minimum of like 8 gigs, you probs didnt meet minimum
When i get on crosh and try to type "shell" it says that its unknown. I dont know what to do.
Then you're not in developer mode.
Worked perfectly thanks! All of this just to get adobe creative cloud lol
J Squared do you need a usb stick and usb flash drive ? or can you do it without it
@@lon5973 bruh watch the video you need a usb stick
Great to hear!
J Squared lmao all i was asking if you needed it or if you could do it without it , no need to be a bitch about it
this took me like 6 hours but it was worth it thanks man
Did it work

i have a hp chromebook 14a-na0010ca it uses a celeron n4000 and it isnt listed under the hp chromebooks for the driver installation, what would i do?
just got it installed thank you so much!!

It´s simply impossible for me to enable developer mode. Maybe because the Acer 720p lacks support ? I Don´t know...
Nope. The Chromebook I used in this (and ALL of my Chromebook videos) is a VERY much supported 720P. Is yours maybe locked out because it belongs to a school or business?
@@DBTechYT No, it´s my computer. I was able to enable dev mode in the past, but today there is no way. This computer received the last compilation in september ( dated august 28)
No idea then. I've always used the method I show in this video and it has worked just fine.
Hey I have a question, I don’t know how to open the back of my chromebook acre r 11. I am using a phillipshead screwdriver but it is not working. Please respond quickly thanks

Hello can you help me? I did everything but when it comes to booting menu it will not allow me to boot from my flash disk, it notifies, USB disk failed it contains 64-bit Os!
The moment you realize, your chromebook isn't compatible...
damn that happened to me
:/
The moment you realize your chromebook only has 16 GB of storage -_-
But still great video! I'm sure it would work with my chromebook if I had more storage
Well I have 32 GB but the model is not compatible
You can buy an external storage
trying this.. ill keep update
currently trying this
Awesome! Please don't forget that there is a very in-depth blog post for this video in the video description. It covers EVERYTHING pretty thoroughly.
Now?
It’s been a year
Hey. Stuff went wrong and I tried to use the backup. It doesn’t recognize it in the boot menu. It’s a microSD. I plug it in and it just doesn’t appear in the boot options. Any ideas on what to do?
its been years and this video is still the best video to do this
Awesome!! Thank you!!
mine says “this script only supports 64-but OS”
are you installing 64 bit windows on a 32 bit chrome
book
with that bgm i feel like i am being taught to hack nsa........lol !
Awesome! But... don't? LOL
Hey! I tried doing it for an hour and all it does is gives me the blue screen of death. It says it will reboot. Then, I clicked the escape key and tried both of your ways to recover chrome os from the USB drive (I did back up the system on the usb drive before restarting the computer for windows) but it keeps going back to the starting screen as shown at 23:20. Help would be great 👍
most comprehensive video ever
thanks dude
Glad it helped!
THIS GUYS AWESOME THANK YOU
It worked yay! Except for the fact that I don't have sound. How do you get sound back on the Chromebook?
Thanks
He explained how to get sound drivers at 31:20
lemme show u how to get the drivers
go to coolstar.org
is there any chance i can just install a windows ssd drive and be done with it? or can i use the windows esd thumb stick and install win 10 on a formatted 32gb ssd drive?? i have the 1.1 ghz intel celeron processor 847 and i get as far as hp pavilion butterfly section and see steps developer etc. but stopped as your telling me 16gb ssd is to small and i do not have the keyboard so if i can just install a windows ssd drive? i heard the mother board has a jumper i can switch to just take it out of chromebook and ready for another os?
so I tried installing win 10 on my Lenovo N20 and went through all the procedures fine (Including the bootable USB creation and removal of the protection screw) but for some reason after installing everything Im stuck on a black screen during boot.. i can only see the light on the screen but nothing comes.. I tried booting from a ubuntu bootable flash drive to reinstall chrome OS but to no avail... is my device bricked?.. and if it is.. is there a way back?.. I need your help
When I want an actual laptop but don't have actual laptop money
fr
be aware this makes your laptop exstream maddness of lag while it's installing but otherwise it's amazing.
Is it laggy then for ever or is it good after ?
@@notme1236 Good after :)
How much storage, and RAM did you have?
@@qua7771 No idea but how tf did I spell it that bad damn
@@GhostedFromFrogs I didn't notice. My gadget helps me make spelling errors.
Does anyone know why my Write Protection screw on my chrome book 15 won’t come out. It’s like it’s so tight (pause) that I can’t unscrew it.
Thanks men, awesome tutorial!
Thanks!
Damn. I only have a 16gb. Thanks tho!
You can install a 2.5 HDD, you'll just have to go tochrom support and make a chrome os boot drive, it's what I did and it worked
E25 productions so basically you make a boot drive for chrome OS and then sent it ?
16:01 how do u write that
Read the blog post linked in the description.
hey great video, i have a question when i try to backup the firmware on the usb it keeps saying fail ( i have tried a couple of USB and the same) also the screen where the bunny appear, it doesnt show anything nor let me install windows..... im stuck on the backup firmware part....... thank you
30:18
Is anyone having trouble removing the write protection screw because I tried to unscrew it and its stuck? Or it wont turn.
me: *Installed chromium OS*
ChromiumOS: So you have chosen death. *No youtube youtube site gives some playback errors no google services*
Me: ChromiumOS you have chosen death too *replaces it with windows*
had chromium malware stuck on an old windows 7 for months. annoying af
does anyone get chromium isn’t malware if you downloaded it from the site
I only have 8gb 😭😭
Yes... I also do not have enough internal storage. I have 16 GB :/
Then probably your device is about to be bricked! ChromeOS takes up storage as well. I had a 16GB and it almost took up my storage.
You did a great job explaining that!!! thanks u man
Glad it helped!
Hey i finished all the way up to minute 26 and after it finished that step it is now flashing on the please wait screen for a while now. Help please
