Question from Karla: Hi, Rick. I hope you can give me some advice about “reviving” an old laptop.
What I have is an older laptop that had Windows on it before the hard drive died.
I bought a new Windows 10 machine but I’d like to replace the bad hard drive in the old laptop and experiment with a different operating system.

My question is can I install Chrome OS on my laptop and use it as a Chromebook?
