Chromebook won't boot from USB stick

[gib65]

Hello,

I created a bootable Windows 10 USB stick on my Chromebook using the Chromebook Recovery Utility. I created the iso files for it using the Microsoft Media Creation Tool downloaded from here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/software-download/windows10 and followed this guide for creating the bootable USB: https://technastic.com/create-a-bootable-usb-on-chrome-os/.

Now, when I plug the USB stick into my Chromebook and power it up, it doesn't boot from the USB. It seems to completely ignore it. When I look at the contents of the stick on the Chromebook, I see this:



Can someone tell me if this looks wrong? If there's an extra step I need to do to get it to boot from the USB stick? Thanks.

First of all. What specs does this chromebook have? It may not have sufficient hardware to run windows.

Booting to usb on chromebook isn't as easy as it is on a pc, There is a few steps you have to do first.

Thanks for the feedback john.

I printed out the specs of my Chromebook and attached it here.

I will read through that article and see what I can make of it.
