If you follow the latest Chromebook developments, you will know that Google is preparing to bring Windows 10 to its mobile device.
So if you want to run a specific application of Windows, Google has been trying to enable dual boot with Windows 10 on Chromebook since July 2018.
This is not the same as Google's attempt to bring Linux to the Chromebook. With the latter, you can run both operating systems at the same time, while the first, you can run either or not, but not both at the same time.
This new dual-boot mode will allow users of Intel-based Chromebooks and at least 64 GB SSD, 4GB RAM to run Windows 10. It also appears that Dual Boot, the descendant of Google's Campfire, will allow you to run other operating systems.
In the meantime, if you only want to run on your Chromebook is Microsoft Office, you can do it for a long time. The Microsoft Office Online as you may know is available for free and contains the applications Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Mail, Calendar, OneDrive and Sway, the program printingMicrosoft desktop.
Yes, these are not full versions, but if you need the full version of Microsoft Office, why did you buy a Chromebook?
You can also already run some Windows applications at Chrome OS using CrossOver software.
But if you can wait a while, you will soon be able to get Windows 10 together with Chrome OS on a machine soon.
Google has not officially announced that Windows 10 can be installed soon on the Chromebook, but we expect to hear the news at the next CES in early January of 2019.
