Hello everyone!
As the title suggests, I would like to install Windows 10 Professional 64 bit or even 32 bit on my Chromebook.
The Chromebook that I have is a Samsung Chromebook 3, with the following specs:
4GB RAM
16GB ssd storage internal
16gb SD card (for apps and documents)
Intel Celeron CPU (Cog system info app says its a N3050, but not 100% sure)

Anyways, I looked on this reddit page for more information, and the developer said that it is being worked on. Currently when I go to install Windows 10, (I have completed all of the other steps, like enabling USB booting) it will boot from the USB drive that I have the Windows 10 Installer on, and then once it finishes booting, before the welcome to windows screen, everything goes black, and there is a weird blue pixelated bar at the top of the screen.

Anyways, any help would be appreciated as I personally hate ChromeOS, and the only reason that I have a Chromebook is because someone got it for me as a gift, although I already built my gaming pc... OK.
Thanks,
Sam

Then you have a few options:
1. Figure out how to do it yourself
2. Wait
3. Abandon the project of trying to install and run Win 10 on a 16GB 'drive', in a low performance Chromebook


The fact that there is not an easy click click click guide to just 'do it'...means it ain't easy.

if you hate chrome os, why did you buy a chromebook?

the bios on those chromebooks is differnet, other parts have been modified and simplified to run linux only chrome os

the hack you want to do will involve a modified installer or a modified loader, no one i have read has a final solution

is simpler to sell it and buy a cheap windows laptop and stop trying to break this poor chromebook

for the second time, I got the chromebook as a gift from a friend when he bought a new PC. I have no use for the Chromebook so I am trying to make it interesting. If you do not have anything helpful to say, please do not sit there and criticize my choices.

Then the proper procedure would seem to be to follow however they did it.

The only thing is, they don't have a BrassWell Guide out Yet For People to Use.

And I wouldn't call running "Win2Go" from a USB to be equivalent to the original request of "installing Windows 10 on a Chromebook".
