    If a laptop defaults to the internal screen during boot, it can usually be forced to use the external display by booting with the lid closed. Of course one has to use an external mouse and keyboard in such case.

      He installed coreboot without using a flashing board, meaning that it can exclusively boot linux, no windows. In theory though, it's possible if you flash it using that board.

      @MaximumRD Рік тому +1

      Because Chromebooks are already very limited on resources ram/cpu etc, Windows would likely be very painful to use on it. The point here being Linux would at least be a better choice than ChromeOS which is not only less flexible than Linux but older Chromebox loose support for ChromeOS pretty quickly. If you insist on using Windows you are just better off buying a lower end laptop that comes with it. Lastly installing Windows is not as straight forward to install on Chromebook hardware and can be trickier to get booting if at all. I say this as mainly a Windows user, even I would not bother.
