Hi! I was so smart again and did not inform myself about this laptop before buying it. I have an acer 315 chromebook. Can you install Windows 10 there? If yes how?

bi

In theory yes. About bios, but I do not know now whether the activation is activated.

si

If you can get into the bios, you can also install Windows. How it works is different for every computer. Press the F2 key regularly when starting up. Could work.

How to install Dus is described on many websites. You need a USB stick.

Since the notebook has a very bad Celeron processor, you should probably stay with ChromeOS.
Should be faster than Windows for surfing and the notebook is hardly capable of more.

Th

In the delivery state in any case, no.

In order to be able to install Windows or Linux, another system memory (with more storage space) must be installed.

In order to be able to install a different operating system, it must be possible to boot from another drive via the BIOS or via the network so that a different operating system (Windows / Linux) can be installed.

For Windows 10, the Chromebook just meets the system requirements in the 64 bit version.

Microsoft is phasing out Windows 10 32-bit and will fully concentrate on Windows 10 64-bit.

Th

The 4GB system memory should not be sufficient for delivery, as the 4GB card must be replaced with something with more memory if possible.

Th

But only if the system memory is also exchanged, the 4GB card should not be enough, see product description of a Chromebook

si

Moment. Are you talking about memory or mass storage? Please don't say mass storage. That would be sad.

Th

By system memory I mean the place where the operating system is installed (not main memory).

si

Ouch. I didn't know ^^

Th

Have looked at several Chromebooks in the description whether they are different now than a few years ago, but they are like the launch.

There's still a 4GB card installed where "Chome" operating system is running.

bi

This definitely means the ram.

Sp

Project Crostini can run programs in ChromeOS Linux.

In use, it should be similar to the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). The technical execution is different.

Th

No, it is not, the 4GB card installed is the memory on which the Chrome operating system is installed.

bi

But it is really little.

Th

A Chromebook constantly needs the Internet, otherwise it is unusable, which is why it has so little storage space.

bi

Yes.
