Friend got a "Chromebook" from someone.
Friend said it was locked with a password. I looked it up, there's a way to "Reset and PowerWash" a Chromebook from the login prompt.
Then when I called said friend back to tell them the good news, they tell me that the guy upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10, and it was unstable, lost programs, and I'm like, "I thought that you said that it was a Chromebook, you can't install Windows on a Chromebook." (*Not without some boot-loader hacking on some models.)
So at this point, I have no idea what kind of device it is. He said it had a sticker on the bezel, with "Chrome" and the browser logo.
Is it now possible to put Win10 on a CB? I've read that they now let you run Android and Linux apps on them.
