How difficult is it to go from a PC to Chromebook?

10. A PC is likely to have more storage space than a Chromebook.

All the digital detritus I've been collecting since the late 'seventies doesn't fit on my inexpensive Chromebook. That's what my Linux desktop machine is for.

But it's easy enough to put files I'm currently using, and a very large collection of family photographs, etc., on a usb memory stick which works on both machines.

I was skeptical about Chromebooks until they started using them in the high schools around here. Teachers who hated computers loved them. IT administrators became human again.

My Chromebook is the computer I use most frequently, and it's also the machine I travel with unless some horrid circumstance requires I carry my Windows laptop with me. I don't touch Windows unless someone is paying me.

The battery life of most Chromebooks is amazing if you are used to Windows laptops that get three or four hours at best.

Chromebooks won't run sophisticated image editing software like Photoshop, won't play PC video games, etc... but for web browsing, email, watching Netflix or YouTube, writing, they're great. Newer Chromebooks run Android apps as well.
