Today we will see how to install Chrome OS on any computer.

Before we begin we need to find a PC where the installation. When installation is done we will have lost any data on this computer. So we take special care to save any data on this computer where we will install Chrome OS in a safe place for future use and then recover again.

Make sure we chose the PC has at least 10GB available and 512Mb of ram to be able to proceed without too many problems to install Chrome OS.

As always, we will use the build of Hexxeh, which specifically has the open source version of Chrome OS, ie, chrome OS, which is slightly different from the official version but for us it will be exactly like the one distributed by Google in its Chromebook.

Saved our files get ready to do this by following the steps below:

Download Chrome OS from the site of  Hexxeh  (currently only one version is up to date, previously could choose between vanilla and lime).
Now you will need to create a USB stick containing Chrome OS, then to be able to install on our computer, we can create a key to boot from both Windows and Linux (Ubuntu or others) from the Mac instructions are both in the site that the web. This step is pretty quick and requires no special computer skills but just follow the instructions.
Now you need to make a backup of your computer, in case what I said before, that we will lose all the content in it is not clear.
We arrived at the most important point: we turn on the PC and set the bios to boot from usb method. To do ripetutamente usually just press the F12 key or F2, depending on the PC being used. Then accessing the BIOS setup screen. Without this we will have to set the USB stick as before.
We turn on the PC and maintain log on Chrome OS. It is not yet installed, it works just as key.
We access to the terminal and press CTRL + ALT + T or CTRL + ALT + F2, a combination alternative in case the first does not work.
We now use the login username: chronos, password: Facepunch, standard, used to be able to log in as administrators.
We write install and then press enter to be able to proceed to the next step,
Now we have to wait for a variable time to install Chrome OS on your PC
The work is completed, we just installed on a normal PC Chrome OS.
