Chromium OS on a dell notebook

[Muffinmaddness]

So I bought a dell P24T notebook from someone on facebook for £2 because the power socket was broken, I ordered a new one put it in and had to buy a universal adapter...the adapter works but not properly so iv ordered an actual AC adapter for the notebook, not a universal multi adapter.. see if that charges the battery, anyway, because the specs (mainly the HDD 34Gb) is tiny it comes with windows 10 on it, but I thought about putting chromium os on and turning it into a chromebook, why?...well why not, not done it before and messing with this stuff is fun, so just seeing if chromium os would be ok for this device and wont be a slow mess or should I stick to windows? 

and yes linux is an option, but i will do that when I buy another cheap laptop

and in total this notebook cost me £24 , about $30 

 

so quite happy with that =) 

its the cheap one in this video

It would be more than fine. I use Cloudready on a first gen mobile Core i3.

Nope, it installed easily on my machine. Just use the Cloudready installer program for Windows and it'll make a bootable USB drive. It works fine with a mechanical hard drive (an old slow 80GB 2.5" drive), so it should work faster on your machine. Let me know if you need hep with it.
