[dba-Tech] Way over my head

Hi Arthur

You can download the Windows 10 installation media here:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/software-download/windows10

and with this create a bootable USB-stick.
With this, you can install Windows 10 on the Linux laptop. You will also need a product key.

The Chromebook is a challenge. Bing/google on "install windows on chromebook" with the addition of the model of yours, as the specific hardware may represent additional challenges.

Emne: [dba-Tech] Way over my head

I have three laptops. One runs Linux Mint, another Windows 10, and the third is a Chromebook. I thought it would be a learning experience, but all I seem to be doing is smacking my head against the steering wheels. Chrome is baffling to me, and I thought it was alleged to be the friendly OS.
Linux Mint makes everything so difficult. So I think I've had it with experimentation, and plan to reconfigure the first and third laps to Windows 10. I'm way too old for this crap. A few short years ago, there was fire in my belly. Now almost 73, all I have left is embers, and they are cooling quickly. Now I find myself increasingly drawn to Simple, Simple, Simple.

On the Chromebook, is it possible to install Windows 10?
What is the most effective way to get a Windows 10 installation disk?

I'm way over my head in trying to create a network from three different OSs, so I think the best thing to do is turn them all into Windows 10. In that environment, I think I know what I'm doing.
Any advice?
