About CoolStar

CoolStar provides a guide for installing Windows 10 or Windows 11 on Chromebooks. The site includes a device compatibility chart and model-specific instructions. Users select a model to view its installation guide. The steps cover enabling developer mode, creating a storage partition for Windows, updating RW_LEGACY and setting up UEFI firmware, and installing OpenCore with patches.

The process depends on developer mode and firmware changes. Depending on the model, the instructions may require opening the device, bridging a write protect jumper, removing a write protect screw, or disconnecting the battery. One alternate firmware path requires purchasing a SuzyQ board from Fyra Labs. Pricing for the guide is not stated.
