In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Chrome OS on PC, with Play Store support. Chrome OS, derived from the Chromium OS, uses the Chrome browser as the principal user interface. Launched as the default OS for the Chromebook, it created quite a buzz and Windows users were all ut ready to port it onto their PCs.

Don’t get us wrong, there do exist some emulators with are capable of supporting Chrome OS on your device, but they don’t support even most of the basic features.
So what else could be done in such a case? Well, you could still port the entire Chromium OS on your Windows PC.

How to Install Chrome OS on PC with Play Store Support
Before we begin with the installation instructions, there are few requirements that your PC should qualify. Furthermore, some important files need to be downloaded as well. Here is all that is needed for the successful installation of the Chrome OS.
Prerequisites
- A USB drive with at least 16GB of free space.
- UEFI boot support in the system BIOS.
- Intel-based CPU and GPU. On AMD, chances are quite less, but if you wish you could still give it a try.
Downloads
- First of all, download the Linux Mint Cinnamon. Make sure to download the one based on your CPU Architecture (32 bit or 64 bit).
- Next up, download the Rufus tool to flash the Linux Mint image on your USB Drive.
- Also, download the Chrome OS recovery image. Make sure you download the latest version, codenamed “rammus”. At the time of writing, version 80 is the newest one.

- Now you may ask why we should go for this codename? Well, the thing is Rammus is the recommended image for all the devices having a 4th generation Intel CPU or newer ones. So if you are having a3rd Gen Intel CPU, then you should instead go for “Samus”. Whereas AMD users might try out the “grunt” image.
- Now comes the most important part: download the file named Brunch (make sure you download the tar.gz file under the Assets section). This file acts as a framework for the creation of the generic Chrome OS image, which makes it possible to be installed on any Windows PC.
- Finally, download the install.sh script file using the Ctrl+S shortcut key combinations,
This where all the required files. Now let us begin with the steps to install Chrome OS on PC, with Play Store support.
