Google focusing on bringing dual-boot support to Chromebooks is a project that first made the rounds in 2018 when the company was said to be exploring other operating systems like Linux and Windows because of its own devices.

As the development work advanced, more details reached the web, so we eventually found out that Google was attempting to bring Windows 10 to Chromebooks included in an attempt called Project Campfire.

Although this was an ambitious idea that might have turned Chromebooks into devices fully focused on productivity, something particularly important for that education market where Google is investing aggressively, it appears as though the plan has since been abandoned.

Reddit use crosfrog discovered comments and code removals indicating that Project Campfire is dead permanently, as Google has apparently abandoned the thought of bringing Windows 10 to Chromebooks.

AboutChromebooks writes that the project has likely been abandoned in late 2018, as no progress has been made on Project Campfire since then.

"The storage footprint"

As for the reasons Google no more wants to bring Windows 10 to Chromebooks, it's believed they're pretty much associated with the storage footprint Microsoft's operating-system is wearing a device.

Windows 10 would require at least 40GB of storage on any Chromebook to run smoothly, which makes it impossible for Google to bring the operating system towards the most of devices currently running Chrome OS. Given they run a web-based platform, Chromebooks typically include really low storage, like 32GB or perhaps 16GB for the cheapest models.

Needless to say, we shouldn't expect Google to verify that Project Campfire is dead, mostly because this would be a secret project anyway, therefore the company never acknowledged its existence. But whether or not the Windows 10 dream is dead, Bing is very likely to consider different ways of improving Chrome OS making it a better rival to Windows 10.
