To install Windows 10 or 7 on Acer Chromebook R11 you need to mess up with the operating system, firmware, and BIOS. However, These actions can result in some serious effects on your Laptop. Chromebooks are not officially designed for installing Windows Operating system and you can’t install Windows without any modifications in BIOS.
Step 2: Prepare the flash drive for installation. To install CloudReady, you’ll need an 8GB USB drive (at minimum) and a PC, Mac, or Chromebook to create the installation media.

Follow the instructions to the letter, during the step to disable the OS verification, press Ctrl-D to boot into os. If you hear two beeps I would go back to set one. I got in a loop where it said I wasn't in developer mode but also thought I was and keep saying my os was broken and it needed an usb to reinstall.

I bought an Acer Chromebook 11 from Google.I planned to install Ubuntu Linux and use itfor mobile app security auditing.

ChromeOS has its virtues, but it is unableto run VirtualBox, so I could not use it.

I tried Chrubuntu but although the installer ran,it refused to boot.

I tried Crouton, a chroot-based way of running Ubuntu inside ChromeOS. However, the Linux kernel ChromeOSuses is too old. At first,VirtualBox won't install, and even afterchanging kernel flags it runs poorly. It is impossibleto create a host-only interface in VirtualBox, which prevents Genymotionfrom starting.

I decided that the only way to get the Chromebook to beuseful was to get a real Ubuntu OS running directly onthe hardware. But the firmware does not allow booting from USB at all,and it doesn't let any other OS launch from the SSD.

My solution was to completely disable theinternal SSD by replacing the firmware withhacked firmware that allows USB boot only.The result is a machine that runs slowly enoughto be irritating, but it runs, and is cheap and veryportable.

Limitations of this Technique

This technique has seriouslimitations:

You must open the case and remove a write-protect screw
You must use a USB flash drive as the mainstorage device. The internal SSD will be useless.
You cannot boot to ChromeOS any more.
You must use modified firmware designed for a different device, whichhas a chance of failing and rendering your Chromebook unbootable.
You cannot use Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, because the trackpad won't work. You must use the latest version, 15.04, which will only be supported for nine months, and keep updating to later versions frequently.

If you're willing to accept all those limitations,the instructions below tell you how to do it.

Making Bootable Ubuntu USB from a Mac

Download the ISO from Ubuntu.com.

In a Terminal window, execute these commands:

hdiutil convert -format UDRW -o ubuntu-15.04-desktop-amd64 ubuntu-15.04-desktop-amd64.iso
diskutil list

Plug in the USB drive.In a Terminal window, execute this command:

diskutil list

Look for the new item--for me it was /dev/disk3In a Terminal window, execute these commands:

diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk3sudo dd if=ubuntu-15.04-desktop-amd64.dmg of=/dev/rdisk3 bs=1m
diskutil eject /dev/disk3

Here are instructions from Ubuntu for three operatingsystems:

Remove the Write-Protect Screw

You must remove 12 tiny screws from the bottom of thecase, and carefully pry the cover loose. A guitar pickis very helpful.

You need to remove this screw, next to the wireless NIC:

Reassemble your Chromebook and plug in the power.

Entering Developer Mode (May Not Be Needed)

Power on your Chromebook. ChromeOS starts.

To enter developer mode press the following key combination:

Esc + Refresh + Power Button

(The refresh button is the 4th button from the left at the top and looks like a curly arrow).

Upon restart, a 'scary screen' appears, saying'Chrome OS is missing or damaged'.

Press Ctrl+D. From now on you need to press Ctrl+Devery time you launch ChromeOS.

It says 'To turn OS verification OFF, press ENTER'.

Press Enter.

Now it says 'OS verification is OFF'.

After 20 seconds it beeps and says 'Your system is transitioning to Developer Mode.'

After 6 minutes, the 'OS Verification is OFF' message appears again, there are three beeps, and the Chromebook restarts.

Now it says 'OS verification is OFF'.

Press Ctrl+DChro
