In this video I show you how to switch on developer mode on a Chromebook. This is also sometimes called Dev Mode on a Chromebook. This method still works in 2024.

Regarding how to turn on developer mode on a school Chromebook. This can’t be done as the school will have the Chromebook locked down under an administrator account and will be controlled by the school’s Google account administrator.

Also, if you have a Chromebook that has any administrator account control on it, you can not turn on developer mode on a Chromebook like this either.

TIP FOR BUYING A USED CHROMEBOOK:
When buying a used Chromebook make sure that it is not under any administrator control. If it is ask the person who you are buying it from to unlock the Chromebook first and then check it to make sure. To check it, just go through what I show you in this video to turn on developer mode on the Chromebook. Even if you’re not interested in developer mode on the Chromebook, going through the process will definitely let you know if the Chromebook has been unlocked. Because if the Chromebook allows you to turn on developer mode, this will mean that it is unlocked. You don’t have to continue into the final step to activate developer mode on the Chromebook, you can just restart the Chromebook without allowing it to complete the developer mode setup and it will boot into ChromeOS in regular mode without developer mode.

THINGS TO DO BEFORE TURNING ON DEVELOPER MODE ON YOUR CHROMEBOOK:
Don’t forget to back up any important data on your Chromebook before turning on developer mode, as developer mode will format the Chromebook’s storage and wipe all the data off of it, or as Google it, a Power Wash. So if you have any important data or files, such as photos, videos, music, documents etc. Do a backup of these files to your cloud storage or an external storage drive. You can always copy these files back to your Chromebook after you have added your account on it after turning on developer mode. Also, don’t forget that developer mode will allow you to install APK files, which are the app installer files, that didn’t come from the Google Play Store. This means that the APK files have not been checked for viruses etc. So just be very careful with what you install onto your Chromebook once it is in developer mode.
