We will need a USB drive larger than 4GB. From official sources, you can get information about those devices that support Chrome OS, installation on such devices takes place without interference. However, if certain equipment is not listed, do not despair. If we talk about Chrome OS, installing on a computer of any model is possible, since this platform is based on Linux. The most probable problems include difficulties with Wi-Fi adapters: often these devices refuse to work.Removable media
Next, discuss how to install from a USB flash drive in the case of Chrome OS. Google does not ship an official build of its operating system. Therefore, you should use third-party publications - Lime or Vanilla. The latter is the most recent build. Let's start with her. If you encounter compatibility issues, it is better to use Lime. This edition has enhanced support for device drivers. This includes components for the operation of AMD and nVidia video cards, Realtek, Ralink and Broadcom processors, as well as Wi-Fi adapters.

Therefore, for portable devices, you will need to use the assembly of the operating system from Dell, since it causes the least complaints. We need the Win32DiskImager program. This application will help to record the image of the operating system on removable media. If the laptop has an external drive, you can do without the specified program by writing all the data to a CD. Install the HPUSBDisk application. This tool is required to return the removable media to its original size. We will use it after completing all the steps associated with the installation.
Instructions for portable devices
We insert the USB flash drive into the USB port. We start the Win32DiskImage application with administrator rights. In the tool window, in the Image Flie section, point to the previously downloaded Chrome OS image by clicking on the icon with a blue folder. In the Device tab, select the drive and click on Write. The Win32DiskImage application will format, and then write the platform to the media. Now you can proceed with the installation. It is strictly forbidden to remove the USB flash drive while the operating system is running. This may damage the drive and the USB port. Removing is permissible only after turning off the laptop.Launch
