Google seeks Windows 10 certification for Pixelbooks

Pixelbook compatible with Fuchsia OS

Google puts our two types of computers managed by Chrome OS, the Internet search giant's operating system for computers. On the one hand we find the range ChromebookLow-performance equipment designed for the educational field, being more than enough for the needs that students may have at a reduced price.

On the other hand, we find the range Pixelbook, Google's high-end computer, which starts at $ 999 and offers us high-end features in a very small space. But, spending $ 1.000 on a computer that can only install Chrome OS doesn't seem like a very good idea, and the guys at Google are seeking certification so it can run Windows 10.

The guys at XDADevelopers have detected different evidence that Google is working towards certification necessary to be able to install and run Windows 10 without problems, which will allow users to work with Microsoft's operating system as an alternative to Chrome OS that is included natively and that offers us a limitation in terms of applications, since it only uses They can install the applications available in the Google Play Store.

According to XDADevelopers, the latest code updates make mention of WHCK and HLK, which are references to the Windows Hardware Certification Kit and Windows Hardware Lab Kit respectively. XDADevelopers claims that this shows that Google wants offer its users the ability to run Windows 10 in a simple way, before a hacker offers this option, which would leave the Mountain View-based company in a bad place, since it would be shown that it has not offered this option because it has not been interested at any time, despite that the equipment is compatible.

Fortunately, Google seems to has realized the limitations offered by Pixelbooks with Chrome OS (While deciding whether to launch Fucsia OS or not to the market) taking into account that inside we find an Intel Core i5 processor 8 GB of RAM, more than enough equipment to be able to move Windows 10 with great ease.
