How to run Windows on an HP or Asus Chromebox!

Buy it on Amazon - (affiliate link)
Windows runs on an HP or Asus Chromebox - and it runs exceptionally well! In this video I demonstrate how to install Windows on a Chromebox and also take Kerbal Space Program out for a spin to see how it can handle a somewhat modern game.
The only gotchya at the moment is that it lacks sound. Both the Asus and HP Chromebox devices don't have a Windows 8 driver for whatever they're using for audio, so you'll need a separate USB audio adapter. I'll review one in an upcoming video.
There are a few prerequisites:
1. Install the dual boot configuration I demonstrate in this video:
2. Download WinToUSB to configure Windows to boot from a USB drive:
3. A (legit) version of Windows 8 in ISO format. In this video I am running the 64 bit edition.
4. A USB 3 drive with enough space for a Windows installation (a 32 or 64 gig drive should work). I used an SSD with a SATA to USB 3 adapter in this video.
I am amazed. Chromeboxes are selling for under $160 on Amazon. Quite a bargain considering how versatile they can be!
