That’s my pre match entertainment sorted 👍 Genuinely takes about 45 minutes or so, most of which is time just spent sat waiting for things to install - first the USB, and then the actual installation. Obviously it completely wipes your PC, so back up any files - best thing to do is add them to Google Drive cos that's integral to the Chromebook setup anyway. This laptop has always run ridiculously hot, with the fan battling to try and keep it cool, but it's completely silent now cos this OS is so lightweight. Battery seems to be lasting quite a bit longer as a result too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 53516 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Honestly it's a piece of piss. I'm not remotely computer savvy beyond ability to use Windows. You install the OS on a USB stick by plugging it in to your laptop and running the programme they provide. Then you start your laptop, boot from your new USB stick, and install. It honestly doesn't involve any techy shit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 53516 Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 The thing to do is have a play around in it before you install it (tells you how in the instructions). It was working fine so I went ahead with the install and it was done in 5 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
