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.

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?
Touch screen =Works
Touch Pad =Works
Keyboard Backlight =Works -- you have to do CTRL-ALT-BrightnessUP to invoke it - but forgets state after a reboot so you have to turn it on again.
SD Card does sound like its recognizing a card when inserted - But I didn't see anything show up under Disk management or My Computer. So this might be a maybe - but i rarely use it
Built-in Camera Works (obviously anything attached to it will work with the appropriate windows drivers) tested with Facebook Messenger
Built-in Microphone works (i think - with coolstar drivers) -- but i use SteelSeries 7 headphones w/Mic on USB-C dongle
heres a quick demo of mine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rtvVu2
Google Playstore is accessible via BlueStacks Android Emulator
Happy with purchase.

And SD cards not working in windows would be a big deal for me. So I'll see how a Linux distro will work. But I saw a comment that sound is not working in Linux 😵 💫

EDIT: note for those who are opening their laptop, there is a screw hidden under the rear rear rubber feet of the laptop. You will need to remove the rubber feet and expose them. There are 2, one on each foot. There are no screws in the front feet.
