Vcarve and Chrome book
Vcarve and Chrome book
I can't seem to find anywhere any info on using the vcarve on a Chromebook. Is this possible? I do know that there's no CD/DVD on the books but is it still possible?

Re: Vcarve and Chrome book
Chromebooks don't run Windows so you won't be able to run it on there without installing the Wine emulator. Not sure how well VCarve runs in that environment.

I just want to use it to create when I'm out of town in hotel rooms. Once all is created I'll import into my dropbox then fine tune from there.

Hello,
A Chromebook would typically not meet the Minimum required specification required to run our software.

Also it requires a Windows Environment to work as intended and is not supported to run under Emulation software such as Wine.
I hope this helps,
Charlie

A good opportunity to watch the tutorials you've missed.

Another option is to use your Chromebook to remote into your Windows computer. Instructions are here: ->How to Set Up Chrome Remote Desktop on Your Chromebook
