Today we are looking at how to install or run Windows on a Chromebook. In the video tutorial, we are looking at 3 popular ways. In the link session, we also add links to even more alternative options.
The first, which works only on Chromebooks with AMD Ryzen and Comet Lake (10th Generation CPUs) is to install Windows as a virtual machine, locally, on your device. I show in the video, how to set it up, but unfortunately, I don't have a Chromebook like this, I couldn't show the complete process.
I saw this method here
Then I show a service called AppOnFly, which is a web service that works on all Chromebooks that basically provide you with a Windows 10 computer that you can access through a Browser. This is an affordable paid service.
Lastly, we look at Parallels, which provides Windows in enterprise-class, works only on Chromebooks with Comet Lake CPUs, the Enterprise Editions.
If you have any questions, please contact us via a YouTube comment and we would be happy to assist you!

Then go to Saucelabs and sign up using your Temp email and create a password.
