Turning my chrome book into a windows PC - Phenylpropan - Mar 19, 2017
Does anybody think or know if this would work? Just messing around with it to see what I can do.

I doubt the harddrive size, or lack thereof, would allow you to do so, but I could be wrong. Interested to see what other members' think of this idea.

I know Linux can definitely be installed on Chromebooks but I'm not so sure about Windows. Try the following link, I'm not sure how accurate it is though.

It has a 32gig ssd in it. What's the average windows download look like?

At least 16 GB is required for both Windows 7 and 10.
