hey /g/
I bought a chromebook to work off of and to be honest it was a shit purchase. I downloaded Linux and put it on there making it less shit but i still want more.
I have a external hard drive that holds my old Window 8's files from before i went on a rage fueled destruction of my computer and broke it.
My question is, using my chromebook, would i be able to theoretically boot my computer from my external hard drive and run Windows 8 on a chrome book? How would i go about doing this if possible?

it was a win 7 computer originally. What idea like to do is have the computer boot from the external instead of the internal

Look at the bios you idiot, is this even /g/ anymore?
Also: There might be Problems with Windows refusing to boot, because it's a different Machine.

There is no bios on a chromebook.
There is only chromeOS check T or F. If T, continue. If F, act like a faggot and wait for you to unlock ChromeOS in to developer mode which can take anywhere from 5 minutes to a half-hour depending on the machine.

Hold down the refresh button (What would normally be F3) after entering developer mode, and the USB plugged in, see what happens.
I hope it's at least an intel processor, if not you're fucked.
