We have seen some excellent screencasts come from all parts of the community. Not too late for you to submit your screencast for possible use on our channels! Today, we are with Matt Fisher. He can only be a year in high school, but certainly knows his stuff! Matt goes to show everyone how to use Chrome the operating system in a virtual machine.

The first thing you need to do, of course, is to download an image of Chrome. Once downloaded, open the virtual machine program and create a new virtual machine disk. Choose the file you just downloaded chrome, and continue in its path.

Customize the settings of things like CPU usage and RAM, depending on your needs. You may only use the default setting, too. VM Your name as you wish. In this case, Matt named his Chrome.

Once Chrome is installed in your virtual machine, you must sign in with your own Google account. It will then be taken to the Google homepage, and you’re using Chrome officially in the virtual machine OS! It’s that easy to do!
