Run Chrome OS on a Razer Blade Stealth

[Slurpy]

For school, I need a chromebook, but due to their poor display, and lack of local storage(other than the pixelbook), I want to use a more high end laptop that I already own, like my Razer Blade stealth. I just want to know if I can run chrome os and how I would go about that, or If I would have to use Chromium OS

Why? You'd be wasting it's resources. What do you have to have ChromeOS for?

I use my Samsung Chromebook Plus as a in-class and mobile note taker. And for the occasional VNC of my desktop. But other than that it's just a web browser and a late nate Netflix machine. So if that is what you are looking for go for it.

Just install Google Chrome and you have all the functionality ChromeOS has (other than Android apps I guess).

you would need Cloud Ready to install it. if i were you i would dual boot it alongside windows

You have a few options as I see it, some of which make much more sense than others. 

- Just install the chrome browser ( all the same functionality as chromeOS, running on windows, a more useful & functional OS ).

 

- Install chromeOS in a VM ( I'm not sure about performance, but that shouldn't be a problem given the hardware of the blade stealth, and low requirements of chromeOS ). You wouldn't have to bother with dual booting, and can run it full screen when it suits you. I think this is the best solution if you need to run chromeOS for some reason. 

 

-Dual boot, using a 3rd party bootloader (e.g. GRUB), to boot to a chromeOS installation in a separate partition on your boot disk. There is not much reason to do this, the blade stealth's hardware is so vastly overkill for a machine running chromeOS, this option doesn't make much practical sense.

@TrevMCC38 Is this a requirement by your school? If so, I take it that they will end up installing a management profile on it.

Try out the Samsung Chromebook 3. It's cheap and can run android apps. The screen is okay, though

My school just let me use Windows. It's not a requirement.  If they allow you to use your own laptop then use your own laptop. They can't really force you to risk the life of that PC with forcing chrome onto it. 1. It's hard to undo 2. It's hard to do. Like trying to put mac on a Windows based machine. I would just use it like it is until your yelled at

Why do they require chromeOS? It sucks.
