Keep in mind that Bluestacks uses a much older version of Android, but it still works with most apps. It’s based on Android 7, otherwise known as Nougat. This means you can install Chrome OS on old Macs and PCs, but you’ll need to check if your machine is officially compatible with CloudReady. You can also attempt to install it on a non-certified machine, but your mileage may vary. To install CloudReady, you should download the USB Maker. You’ll want to have a compatible USB stick with 8GB or more. CloudReady won’t work with Sandisk drives, so avoid those. Once you’ve got the USB stick set up with CloudReady, you can turn your Mac off. Plug in the USB stick and hold option when turning your Mac on. You can also attempt to install CloudReady in a virtual machine, but it’s not officially supported. Unfortunately, popular VM app VirtualBox won’t work properly with CloudReady due to graphics compatibility issues. CloudReady recommends installing a version of VMware. Any aluminum iMac from mid 2007 with more than 2GB of RAM.Ĭompatible versions are listed on CloudReady’s website.#Install chrome os on mac mini android#.#Install chrome os on mac mini for windows 10#.#Install chrome os on mac mini drivers#.#Install chrome os on mac mini install#.So I tried the same thing again(and again.), only for the screen to freeze at the same time, but this time the speakers didn't work(red headphone jack), although headphones worked flawless. Sadly it just booted normal into MacOS, where it detects that the GPU is dead and boot loops all the time. I now had a working OS just without the Display so I decided to restart the Mac and see what it would do. IMO the quality of the chassis is still above most windows Laptops and is definitely worth saving, so I decided to try to install Chrome OS Flex, I tough it could do with just the iGPU and if it never turns on the dGPU it would work fine.Īnyway I put a Chrome OS Flex installer on a USB-Stick and booted from it, though the moment I clicked on "boot from disk" the screen froze, so I just gave it some time.Īfter some time it started talking to me(some sort of setup assistant must have activated), the Screen was still frozen but after navigating using the assistant I managed to get the Mac to run Chrome OS Flex from the USB-Stick. I have a 2011 17" with a broken GPU just gathering dust, it boot loops since the GPU is dead(or something similar, not sure about that).
