How to Run Chromebook Chromium OS on a Standard PC
If you have a computer, one of the most important tasks is deciding which OS to install on it, or if your OS was OEM installed, deciding to keep your preloaded OS or to up/downgrade or change OS completely. In this tutorial, you will learn...
Part 1 of 3:
Downloading Chromium OS
- Go the the Chromium OS website. Then scroll down to the "Nightly build links" section.
- Click on the latest build of Chromium OS available (the one at the very top).
- Click on the USB image next to the build number.
- Check the checkbox and click "Download." A window will now pop up telling you things before you download. Just check the checkbox and download. Save somewhere on your hard drive.
- Extract the files. Once the file has finished downloading to your HD, extract the files to somewhere easy to find, like your desktop.
Part 2 of 3:
Creating the bootable USB
- Download Windows Image Writer. Download the program Windows Image Writer from the following link http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/.
- Open the application once installed. Once you have installed the program, open it and you should see a screen as shown in the image accompanying this step.
- Click the folder icon. Select the IMG file you downloaded earlier. Next to the white box under the text "Image File" there is a folder icon––click it and navigate to the IMG file downloaded earlier.
- Select the device to write to. If you haven't done so already, insert a USB drive with a capacity of 4GB or greater. Select the appropriate drive letter mapped to your USB under the "Device" section.
- Click "Write".
Part 3 of 3:
Booting into Chromium
- Turn off your computer. Remove the USB device from your computer, then shut it down.
- Boot from the USB. Once your computer has shut down, re-insert the USB. While your computer is on the BIOS splash screen, enter the boot device menu. (This is usually done by pressing F12.)
- Select your USB drive from the list and press enter. Congratulations! If you have done everything correctly, your computer will now boot into Chromium OS.
