Question 1

Can this computer run Windows XP?

Accepted Answer

I'm not 100% sure about this chromebox, but afaik, all chromeOS systems have a slightly different BIOS that is not compatible with installing Windows or Linux (Linux is sometimes possible booting from a USB stick or SD card, with some effort).

Question 2

would this chromebox be able to run the new android apps (ie: adobe creative cloud)?

Accepted Answer

No. This device does not yet have support for Android apps/Google Play in the stable, beta or dev channel. Current reports says that it should have had support by the end of 2017; apparently support is coming as some point.
