Install Chrome OS On Your Laptop / PC Access Google Play and Linux on Chrome!

hey what's going on guys this ETA prime back here again today I'm gonna show you how to install full chrome OS with access to Android from within Chrome OS on an old laptop or an old PC and this isn't using chromium OS cloud OS or fade OS this is Chrome OS that you can install on pretty much any Intel based PC now personally the oldest computer that I tried it on was this older Optiplex that I have here which has a third gen Intel CPU but I suspect this would work on a 2nd gen Intel CPU on up I've also installed it on this little Asus laptop here this has 2 gigs of RAM 32 gigabytes of storage and a dual core in 4,000 CPU I picked these up around Black Friday for a hundred bucks every year so yeah this is full chrome OS for your laptop or your desktop we also have access to Android and the Google Play Store and you can install Linux apps just like you can with most of the newer Chromebooks out there but before we get started here I do want to give a big shout-out to kadar Nimbalkar he's over here on YouTube I'll leave a link to his channel in the top of the description and at the end of the video him and a few other devs came up with this method and it works amazingly he's actually created a full tutorial and I'll leave a link for that in the description if you're interested in checking that out but I figured I'd go ahead and tackle it also because I'm really impressed by this so this is actually really easy to install and I'll give you a quick rundown first thing you're gonna need is a USB Drive 16 gigabytes or larger I'm using a 32 gigabyte Drive USB 3.0 is recommended to get the speed out of it what we're gonna do is install Linux Mint on this USB Drive so you can run it live we're also gonna transfer our Chrome OS installation files to that USB and basically what we're gonna do is start up Linux Mint running live from the USB and then install Chrome OS to the PC we're running this all on the method I'm going to show you in this video we'll wipe the internal drive of the PC we're going to be installing this on so if you have Windows installed on your PC and you use it every day don't go doing this but if you have an extra laptop or an old desktop laying around you could definitely try it in this video I'm going to be using a separate Windows 10 PC to get my USB drive set up but you could always do this on Linux or Mac some of the applications we're going to use will be different on those operating systems but if you're ready to get Chrome OS installed on your laptop or PC let's go ahead and get started all right so let's go ahead and download everything we need we're gonna get this image set up on a USB Drive and then we can install it on set PC like I mentioned this was actually brought to my attention by kadar Nimbalkar I think that's his last name over here on YouTube I'm gonna leave links to his YouTube channel in the description he's got a few other tutorials on how to triple boot this up now the first thing you'll need is that USB Drive I do recommend at least the 16 gigabyte Drive I'm using a 32 gigabyte drive here it's plugged into my PC all links for everything mentioned in this video will be in the description first thing we need to do is download Linux Mint and we're just gonna use this as a live USB so we can install Chrome OS using this operating system we're gonna run this all from the USB I'm gonna get the 64-bit version and you can find a download link here next on the list we need to pick up roughest or Rufus however you want to pronounce it this is going to allow us to flash that image to a USB Drive unfortunately etcher won't work with this method now we need to download a few files from github get the latest version right now the latest version is 4.19 stable we're gonna download brunch right here our 81 now we actually need to get the Chrome OS image and from this link you're gonna find Ramis right here we're gonna go all the way over here and get the latest version which is 80 as making this video but it could be higher in the future that's the largest file we're gonna be downloading it's 1.2 gigabytes and we need to extract it and the final thing we'll need is the installation sh so from this page here right click save as and I'm just gonna save it to my desktop it's gonna save as an install dot SH so I'm gonna go ahead and let this finish up and then I'm gonna play some all my desktop for easy access all right so I have everything downloaded we have Linux Mint we have Ruffus Brunch Chrome OS and the installed SH first thing we need to do is flash our drive with Linux man we're gonna start up Ruffus from within this application we need to make sure that we have our USB drive chosen just make sure it is the correct USB I'm using a 32 gigabyte Drive select we're gonna navigate to where we have the Linux Mint image I place mine on my desktop right here Linux Mint and finally we'll click start this is gonna flash Linux Mint to that USB drive so we can boot it up live on our PC you get a couple warnings yes and we want to write this in an ISO image mode click OK all the data on the USB Drive will be destroyed I don't mind that so I'm gonna click OK we just want Linux Mint installed on that USB we're gonna go ahead and let this finish up and we're now done flashing Linux Mint to our USB Drive now it's time to get the other files we downloaded ready to go so I'm gonna create a folder on my desktop called Chrome OS and inside of this folder I'm gonna put the installed Sh that we downloaded we also need to extract both of these so I'm gonna right-click on the brunch and I'm going to extract it to its own folder so now we have brunch over here I'm going to snap it to the right hand side and we have 4 files that we need to put in that Chrome OS folder we created on our desktop we're just going to take these place them right in here and finally we need to extract the chrome OS image right click extract this is going to take a little longer so we now have the Chrome OS image extracted we're gonna open this up and toss it over here to the right-hand side we need to rename this file Ramis recovery dot been so a rename is actually already in here Ramis underscore recovery dot Ben we're gonna take this and put it in our Chrome OS folder so I'm gonna open that folder up we created we now have six files inside of here root C rammus underscore recovery been installed sh efi secure efi legacy and the Chrome OS installed SH now what we're gonna do is open up our USB Drive that we flash Linux Mint to should be listed as Linux Mint and we're going to place this whole folder that we created right on the USB Drive give it some time to finish up all right we now have our USB drive ready but there's one last thing that I want to show you inside of this USB Drive we put that Chrome OS folder and inside of here we have the installed a sage I'm gonna open this up with notepad plus plus I do recommend using notepad plus plus to edit this at the very end here you'll see SDA this is the hard drive we're going to be installing to on some computers it's not known as SDA 99% of the time if you're using a real internal hard drive or a 2.5 inch SSD it will be known as SDA but on some newer low-end computers it's gonna be known as mm CB lk0 that's what it was on one of my little netbooks you can actually change this right here using notepad plus plus and you may need to do that depending on the name of your hard drive I'll show you how to find out your name once we boot into Linux Mint and start the installation so now we're gonna grab our USB Drive move over to the PC we want to install this on and get it set up alright so here's a little cheap Windows machine that I already installed it on but for this video I will be installing it to this old Optiplex back here so in order to get this running correctly we will need to disable secure boot on our PC and enable UEFI booting and to do that you will have to get into your BIOS on this specific machine when I'm booting it up if I press f2 a couple times it'll bring me to my BIOS on other machines it's f12 f10 f9 or even escape your best bet is to do a quick google search and find out what key brings you in to your BIOS when you're starting your machine up so I've now access the BIOS on this little machine I'm gonna move the camera a bit closer so we can get a better look so this machine's using a newer BIOS yours might look a little different but the option should be the same so from here we have main advanced boot we're gonna go to boot and inside of here on an older PC you'll have the option from legacy to UEFI for your boot option make sure it's changed to UEFI on newer machines most of the time it will be automatically from UEFI but if you have the option here make sure it's set to that instead of legacy the next thing we need to do is disable secure boot under security you have an option called secure boot make sure it's disabled once you have that done make sure you save the settings and exit we're now going to boot from that USB Drive so we're gonna go ahead and grab that USB drive we created on our other PC we're gonna plug it into the laptop or desktop that we're using and we're gonna enter the boot menu again different manufacturers use different keys for this one here it's escape but it could be f7 f9 f12 do a Google search to find out when a power the unit on press escape to get to my boot menu and this is gonna allow me to boot from my internal hard drive or the USB I have plugged in so I'm gonna select my USB Drive and press enter and now we want to choose the very top option we're gonna boot into Linux Mint this is all gonna be running live from the USB Drive and from within Linux Mint then we can install Chrome OS to our internal drive so we're now running Linux Mint I'm gonna go ahead and plug this into a game capture device so we can get a better look at the screen and then we'll install Chrome OS it's actually really easy from here on okay so here we are running Linux Mint let's go ahead and get Chrome OS installed first thing we need to do is make sure we're online I'm connected over Ethernet because this PC that I'm using doesn't have Wi-Fi built in but if you have Wi-Fi down in the bottom corner you'll see a little Wi-Fi icon and you can connect from there now like I mention we do need to find out the name of our hard drive most of the time it's going to be SDA but sometimes it won't be so we're gonna go to the bottom left hand corner to the Linux Mint icon and from here we're gonna type in gparted we're gonna open up gparted and this is going to give us a list of disks attached to our PC so I have a 250 gigabyte SSD in this thing and I also have my USB drive it's 32 gigabytes this is my internal hard drive the name is SDA so I'm good to go if this is a different name you will have to move back over to Windows and edit that Sh file and name it exactly what it says right here but mine's SDA and 99% of the time it will be SDA so let's get the installation going really easy to do we're gonna open up our home folder or any kind of file browser we're gonna go to filesystem and from here we're gonna find that Chrome OS folder we created this is the one here we're gonna open it up and inside we'll see we have that installed SH we need to run that and we're gonna run it from terminal we're gonna right click inside of this folder open in terminal and we're gonna type in sudo SH install Sh press Enter it's going to download some dependencies you need to be online for this to work make sure you subscribe to Ken DARS YouTube channel and now it's time to do the installation this is gonna wipe the internal drive our SD a nothing's gonna be left on it except for Chrome OS now like I mentioned kinder does have a couple videos showing you how to triple boot a system like this but personally I don't deal with that because somebody's going to end up messing up their windows installation that they had work on and then it's my fault so what we're gonna be doing is just installing to this internal hard drive we're gonna make this PC into a strictly Chrome OS PC so if you're ready to wipe that drive and install Chrome OS type yes we're gonna give this a little time it usually takes anywhere from three to 10 minutes depending on your internet connection and the speed of your hard drive the installation is now finished we can type sudo reboot or you can reboot from right here restart we're gonna pull that USB drive out now and there we have it we can start Chrome OS from here or it'll automatically start after five seconds it's gonna run through a little bit of a setup slash update process at first so let this finish we now have Chrome OS installed on our PC we're gonna click let's go like I mention I'm just connected to Ethernet with this one here go ahead and agree to all the terms it's gonna check for updates you have to sign in just like you would with any other Chromebook and you got Chrome OS up and running along with Android 9 so this is a fully functional Chrome OS desktop or laptop depending on what you installed it on and here it is so yeah I mean everything works pretty well in here we'll just head over to YouTube real quick we also have Google Play and I'm gonna install one application just to show you that this is running on that PC got four gigs of RAM here and I have the i5 3450 so that's on the optiplex desktop that I showed you using built in Intel HD graphics and it's super smooth you can also install the Linux beta if you'd like to I'm gonna go ahead and turn this on so we can run Linux apps in Chrome OS but that's pretty much it for this one I really appreciate you watching and I do want to give another big shoutout to guitar for coming up with this link for his channel is in the description he goes into a little more detail on different things about this so definitely check his channel out
