There is some leg work we have to do to get Windows running in a virtual machine but apart from the actually installation process, it really didn’t that long and was fairly straightforward.īefore we get into it, I feel obligated to issue the usual caveats. I’ll be testing on some other devices to verify my suspicion but for now, Comet Lake Chromebooks are the only devices I’ve seen this work successfully. From the best I can tell from my repository digging, this ability is currently limited to ‘Hatch’ devices which are powered by the Intel Comet Lake CPU family. Now, my Chromebook is in the Canary channel but I did confirm with Mace that his ASUS C436 was in the Stable channel and NOT in developer mode.
Moneta’s success and we’re going to run through the steps of how I arrived. I am happy to report that I was able to duplicate Mr. #ChromeOS #Android #Linux #Win10 /9YsTFzpgf6- Mace Moneta August 1, 2020 Nested (hardware accelerated) KVM is enabled!įirst thing I tried, booting up a #Windows10 #VM inside the #Linux container… and It works! And it's fast enough to be productive. I just made an interesting discovery on my ASUS C436 #chromebook. As excited as I was to see this development, I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t give it a try myself before sharing the news. Our pal Kevin Tofel has reported that a Chromebook user on Twitter shared that he successfully installed Windows 10 in a VM inside the Linux container. However, it looks like the Chromium developers have been tinkering under the hood. Nesting a virtual machine inside inside another VM on Chrome OS technically isn’t supposed to be possible in the current Stable build of Chrome OS. Parallels will soon bring a full-fledged Windows desktop to Chrome OS for enterprise customers but it appears that won’t be only way to skin the proverbial cat.
