How to install or run Windows on a Chromebook


Today we are looking at how to install or run Windows on a Chromebook.  In the video tutorial, we are looking at 3 popular ways.  In the link session, we also add links to even more alternative options.

The first, which works only on Chromebooks with AMD Ryzen and Comet Lake (10th Generation CPUs) is to install Windows as a virtual machine, locally, on your device.  I show in the video, how to set it up, but unfortunately, I don't have a Chromebook like this, I couldn't show the complete process.
I saw this method here 

Then I show a service called AppOnFly, which is a web service that works on all Chromebooks that basically provide you with a Windows 10 computer that you can access through a Browser.  This is an affordable paid service.

Lastly, we look at Parallels, which provides Windows in enterprise-class, works only on Chromebooks with Comet Lake CPUs, the Enterprise Editions. 

If you have any questions, please contact us via a YouTube comment and we would be happy to assist you!

Go to Temp Mail and get a business email, if you don’t have one, because the website won’t let you use Gmail.  Then go to Saucelabs and sign up using your Temp email and create a password.  Next, you will see "live test", you’ll click on the thing below, then you open live test on the bottom and change that to windows 10, then Microsoft Edge, and then type google.com once you clicked i.t click start session and that’s how you get free windows 10.  
Ps. you can use the free trial for 28 days then after 28 days if you want you can pay or go to temp mail and refresh for another Temp Mail..."
