If you have any valuable data on the drive, please save it elsewhere.

[h2]Step 1: Download the Latest Chromium OS image[/h2][p] [br]

[p]Google doesn’t have an official Chromium OS build that you can download. The best alternative source is Arnold The Bat. [a href="https://chromium.arnoldthebat.co.uk/?dir=daily" target="_blank"]click here[/a][br]

[h2]Step 2: Extract the Zipped Image[/h2][p] [br]

[p]You will now have a 7-Zip file on your hard drive. Extract this file using one of the 7-Zip apps mentioned above.

[h2]Step 3: Format the USB Drive[/h2][p] [br]

[p]Plug the USB drive into a port and format it as FAT32. The process is simplest on Windows, but macOS and Linux aren’t difficult either.

[p]For macOS users, the built-in Disk Utility can format it as FAT32. If you see it labeled as “MS-DOS FAT” instead, don’t worry, it’s the same thing.

[h2]Step 4: Download and Install Etcher[/h2][p] [br]

[p]There are plenty of software tools to install images to external drives, but we reckon Etcher is the best of them. It’s cross-platform, which means it works the same way on Windows, macOS, or any Linux distro. More importantly, it validates the burning process i.e. once it’s done creating the image on the USB drive, it will verify that everything is right.

[h2]Step 5: Run Etcher and Install the Image[/h2][p] [br]

[p]By now, you should have a fully formatted USB drive, named “Chrome”, plugged into one port of the computer (as shown in step three). You will also have an unzipped image file of the latest Chromium OS (as shown in steps one and two). And you have Etcher installed on your computer (as shown in step four). Start Etcher.

[ol][li]Click [strong]Select Image[/strong] and browse to where the Chromium OS image file is. Add it in Etcher.[/li][li]Click [strong]Select Drive[/strong] and choose the [strong]Chrome[/strong] USB Drive you have created.[/li][li]Click [strong]Flash[/strong] to begin the process of installing the image and validating the installation.[/li][/ol][p]Once Etcher finishes, this will be a bootable USB drive with Chromium OS.

[h2]Step 6: Reboot Your Computer and Enter Boot Options[/h2][p] [br]

[p]“Boot” is the process of choosing the OS. Every computer lets you select which drive it should boot the OS from, whether it’s a hard drive, a USB drive, or even a DVD drive.

[p]For a Windows or Linux PC: Different computers have different BIOS settings. Usually, the Boot Options menu has the keyboard shortcut F5, F8, or F12. If you’re unsure, you can enter the BIOS settings of your PC.

[h2]Step 7: Boot Into Chrome OS[/h2][p] [br]

[p]Choose the USB drive in the boot menu, hit enter, and the computer will boot from the drive. You are now experiencing all the glory of Chrome OS, without affecting your main hard drive and OS. You won’t have any trouble, it’s simple enough that Chromebooks are ideal for elderly people or as a first computer for kids.

[p]Don’t worry, this setup is only during the first time you boot up. Whenever you run it in the future, it will go directly to the login screen.  [br]
