Although it was possible to run the Chromium OS (the base version of Chrome OS), on Windows yet it was not possible to run the actual OS. Thanks to its emulator, now <strong>one can try out Chrome OS without a Chromebook<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>If you are a user looking forward to buying a Chromebook or a developer creating apps for Chrome OS, then this tutorial is for you. In this post, I am going to show you how to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/install-chrome-different-drive-windows-10\/\">install and run Chrome OS on Windows<\/a><\/strong> using an emulator. You can explore Chrome OS or its apps without buying the actual hardware.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> You must have a working internet connection (a high-speed connection is not necessary but recommended else it will take more time) for this tutorial.<\/p>\n<p class=\"note\"><strong>Read Also:<\/strong> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/free-cloud-os\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">9 Cloud Operating System You Can Try Out for Free<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>1. Install Android Studio<\/h2>\n<p>First of all, you must install Android Studio \u2014 even if you only wish to try out the Chrome OS because its <strong>emulator works just in Android Studio<\/strong> as of now. Please follow the below steps to install it:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Download Android Studio<\/strong> from <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/developer.android.com\/studio\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Android Developers<\/a>.<\/li>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/installing-running-chromeos-without-chromebook\/download-android-studio.jpg\" width=\"1200\" height=\"650\" alt=\"Download Android Studio\"><\/figure>\n<li><strong>Open the downloaded file<\/strong> to install Android Studio. It is easy \u2014 follow the on-screen instructions of its installer program.<\/li>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/installing-running-chromeos-without-chromebook\/install-android-studio.jpg\" width=\"623\" height=\"485\" alt=\"Install Android Studio\"><\/figure>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>2. Enable acceleration for VMs<\/h2>\n<p>Many modern CPUs can use extensions to accelerate running VMs (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/dual-booting-vs-virtual-machine\/\">virtual machines<\/a>). Though you can run a VM without enabling this acceleration yet it is recommended to allow it for the <strong>smooth functioning of the VMs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Follow the given instructions to activate acceleration for VMs:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open the Android Studio after installation.<\/li>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/installing-running-chromeos-without-chromebook\/open-android-studio.jpg\" width=\"961\" height=\"602\" alt=\"Open Android Studio\"><\/figure>\n<li>Click the <strong>Configure<\/strong> button and choose \u201c<strong>SDK Manager<\/strong>\u201c.<\/li>\n<li>Switch to \u201c<strong>SDK Tools<\/strong>\u201d tab and check\/select \u201c<strong>Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer)<\/strong>\u201d if available, then click <strong>Apply<\/strong> at the bottom.<\/li>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/installing-running-chromeos-without-chromebook\/install-haxm-emulator-accelerator.jpg\" width=\"1200\" height=\"842\" alt=\"Install HAXM (emulator accelerator)\"><\/figure>\n<li>Please confirm the installation if asked, and select a minimum of <strong>2.0 GB of RAM<\/strong> for the Intel HAXM (emulator accelerator).<\/li>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/installing-running-chromeos-without-chromebook\/settings-haxm-emulator-accelerator.jpg\" width=\"1200\" height=\"757\" alt=\"Settings of HAXM (emulator accelerator)\"><\/figure>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>3. Get the image of Chrome OS<\/h2>\n<p>You must get the system image of Chrome OS to run it virtually on the emulator. It is possible to get its image through the Android Studio SDK Manager. You can download the image by following the steps given below:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Switch to \u201c<strong>SDK Update Sites<\/strong>\u201d tab in the SDK Manager, then click the <strong>+ button<\/strong> present on the center-right of the window.<\/li>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/installing-running-chromeos-without-chromebook\/sdk-update-sites-sdk-manager.jpg\" width=\"1200\" height=\"842\" alt=\"SDK Update Sites in the SDK Manager\"><\/figure>\n<li>In the new dialog window, type in \u201cChrome OS Repository\u201d and \u201chttps:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/chrome_os_emulator\/addon2-1.xml\u201d respectively in the <strong>Name<\/strong> and <strong>URL<\/strong> fields and click <strong>OK<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/installing-running-chromeos-without-chromebook\/add-sdk-update-site.jpg\" width=\"477\" height=\"354\" alt=\"Add a new SDK Update Site\"><\/figure>\n<li>Press the <strong>+ button<\/strong> again and enter \u201cChrome OS System Images\u201d and \u201chttps:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/chrome_os_emulator\/sys-img2-1.xml\u201d in the <strong>Name<\/strong> and <strong>URL<\/strong> text fields and click the <strong>OK<\/strong> button.<\/li>\n<li>Now click <strong>Apply<\/strong> present at the bottom of the window.<\/li>\n<li>Then switch to the \u201c<strong>SDK Tools<\/strong>\u201d tab and check\/select \u201c<strong>Chrome OS device<\/strong>\u201d and click <strong>OK<\/strong> to install selected tools (confirm if asked).<\/li>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/installing-running-chromeos-without-chromebook\/download-chrome-os-device-sdk-manager.jpg\" width=\"1200\" height=\"842\" alt=\"Download Chrome OS device using SDK Manager\"><\/figure>\n<li>Finally, please restart Android Studio to make changes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>4. Create an AVD for Chrome OS<\/h2>\n<p>Now, you have the system image for Chrome OS, so you can create a virtual device to run Chrome OS on the emulator. Follow the below steps to do it:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Click the option \u201c<strong>Start a new Android Studio project<\/strong>\u201d and follow the on-screen instructions to create a new project. It is required because the option to open AVD Manager is present on the workspace screen. Do note that it may take some time because it may download necessary files. <\/li>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/installing-running-chromeos-without-chromebook\/create-project-android-studio.jpg\" width=\"1127\" height=\"852\" alt=\"Create a project in Android Studio\"><\/figure>\n<li>Click the button for \u201c<strong>AVD Manager<\/strong>\u201d from the top-right of the window, and then click the button \u201c<strong>Create Virtual Device\u2026<\/strong>\u201d in the AVD Manager.<\/li>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/installing-running-chromeos-without-chromebook\/open-avd-manager-android-studio.jpg\" width=\"1156\" height=\"403\" alt=\"Open AVD Manager in Android Studio\"><\/figure>\n<li>Select <strong>Tablet<\/strong> from the left, go to \u201c<strong>Pixelbook (beta)<\/strong>\u201d in the center and click <strong>Next<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/installing-running-chromeos-without-chromebook\/select-pixelbook-beta-avd.jpg\" width=\"1200\" height=\"817\" alt=\"Select Pixelbook (beta) for the AVD\"><\/figure>\n<li>In the next window, select a system image for your AVD (Android Virtual Device). If your system does not have the SDK Platform required for the new AVD, you can quickly download it from the <strong>Recommended<\/strong> tab.<\/li>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/installing-running-chromeos-without-chromebook\/download-select-image-avd.jpg\" width=\"1200\" height=\"761\" alt=\"Download or select an image for AVD\"><\/figure>\n<li>Verify the settings for your new AVD and click the <strong>Finish<\/strong> button.<\/li>\n<li>Finally, after it is created, you will see its entry in the AVD Manager. On this screen, you can click its play button to run the Chrome OS.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>That is all about installing and running Chrome OS without a Chromebook. Do note that this tutorial was created on Windows, but you can <strong>follow it on any platform with minor changes here and there<\/strong>.
