01. Hold ESC-Refresh -- tap Power to boot to ChromeOS in Recovery Mode --
Press CTRL-D to enter Developer Mode and disable verification --- allow ChromeOS wipe ~5mins
02. Login to ChromeOS via google credz and establish WIFI connectivity with ur router. - shutdown Chromebook -- disconnect Power
03.Take apart bottom half and disconnect Battery - leave off and reconnect Power cable only to Chromebook-- boot into ChromeOS (This will disable "Write Protect" mode)
04.Launch Chrome Browser then press Ctrl-ALT-T to launch a Terminal
05. Type "Shell" to enter shell mode and paste the MrChromebox.tech script in there:
cd; curl -LO mrchromebox.tech/firmware-util.sh; sudo install -Dt /usr/local/bin -m 755 firmware-util.sh; sudo firmware-util.sh
06. select Option to install Full UEFI Firmware -- run through the prompts (because i can't remember them all) -- let it do its thing and reboot -- and you should get a coreboot "bunny" logo BIOS
07. Install Windows/Linux as any other x86 PC - through bootable ThumbDrive. - may need to find a Win11 TPM bypass method (with rufus)
08. shutdown and reinstall battery as before and your done.
Only things I dislike (but cannot complain about at the price) wifi chip is horrible. Reception is fine inside the house but as soon as I go into my backyard it refuses to connect. I can walk 3 houses down on my phone and other devices. Again can't complain for the price...
The trackpad feels a bit sensitive, could be a lot better, but not too big an issue.

I haven't had a chromebook for five years or so, but I'm really liking this for some basic, portable use. Pretty amazing for $119. Of course, I don't have any other laptop/notebook.

But I honestly haven't gone back to ChromeOS after converting these devices to UEFI - as you can just install another x86 compatible operating system and gain more functionality with them that way
- Not hating on the ChromeOS or anything- but its pretty limited to the PlayStore and Google Drive or cloud storage for saving (kind of like Windows S Mode) I'll keep my ARM based Chromebooks on ChromeOS- since you can't move those to UEFI (like my Lenovo Duet) But anything Intel - its almost better to just convert them in my opinion. Just be weary of the Ram/Storage limitations as they tend to be solder onboard and non-upgradable
Edit: also note that the screws are different lengths.
can you not read the title..

Would that work better so you don't have to deal with the TPM stuff?
Also how are the drivers for the microsd slot, microphone, speakers, TouchPad and keyboard backlight?
