What You Need to Know About This Process We’ll say it again: this isn’t officially supported. To do this, you’ll have to install a replacement BIOS for your Chromebook (technically it’s a UEFI firmware, which is the modern replacement to the traditional BIOS). This will allow you to boot and install Windows. The replacement BIOS can only be installed on Chromebook models that it supports, so you can’t do this on every model of Chromebook. You’ll need some additional hardware as well. You’ll need a USB keyboard and mouse just to install Windows, because your Chromebook’s built-in keyboard and mouse won’t work in the installer. And you’ll need a PC running Windows to create the USB installation media for your Chromebook.
Even after you install Windows, you won’t be out of the woods. Windows doesn’t ship with hardware drivers for various pieces of hardware, like the touchpads incorporated into many Chromebooks (which makes sense, since Chromebook manufacturers never bothered creating Windows drivers for these components). If you’re lucky, you’ll find third-party drivers that were hacked together to give Windows support for these components. This will also, obviously, wipe your Chromebook, so make sure you don’t have anything important stored on it. (You shouldn’t, as Chrome OS usually syncs your data with Google.) If your Chromebook ever appears to freeze or become stuck during this process, bear in mind that you can force the Chromebook to shut down by pressing the Power button and holding it down for ten seconds or so.
