Keep in mind that you will see this screen everytime you boot until you disable developer mode, however it will not wipe your data each time. To download a different OS, you will need to get your chromebook into developer mode, to do that there is two methods, if you are on an old chromebook then there is a physical button for this, search the location of that button for your model and press it, if you are on a new chromebook then you need to press a combination of keys, press Esc + Refresh keys then push the power button, you’ll find a recovery screen, let it wipe your data, this process can take up to 15 minutes so do not worry about it and let it reboot. We’ll first start by backing up your data, since most of your data is synced to your google account then you’ll only need to make a backup of your “ Download” folder, once you’re done its probably best to make a backup of your ChromeOS in your USB, this is just a security measure in case something goes wrong in the installation, go to the Chrome web store and install the Chromebook recovery utility, after it installs enter the model number of your chromebook, insert the USB drive and follow the instructions.
