Question from Carl: I have 2 year old laptop that had Windows 10 on it before the hard drive died.
I bought a new Windows 11 desktop machine but I’d like to replace the bad hard drive in the old laptop and experiment with a different operating system.
I read your post about installing Linux in place of Windows but I’ve been reading a lot about Chromebooks lately. I stopped by Best Buy yesterday and tried one out, and I really like it.
My question is can I install ChromeOS on that laptop and use it as a Chromebook (after I replace the hard drive of course)?
