Windows to Chromebook Conversion
My Chromebook outperforms my Windows 10 laptop. Both have similar specs. Is it feasible/practical to make the conversion? I don't think simply changing browsers will accomplish what I want.

If you are talking about converting a Windows 10 machine to teh Google Chrome Operating system (Which is LInux based) it can (in theory) be done but you are going to need to be a windows POWER USER.
I have two chromebooks and two Windows Laptops plus a desktop
I use the Chromebooks for WWW.everything. THe desktop is a 100 dollary refurb from Target and is the "File server" for my DVR"s Electronic program guide (rube goldburg DVR system works great)
The win-laptops one is my Ham Shack box. runs software specific to windows
The other my "Storage and logging" comptuer for non ham radio stuff.
Lots and lots of hard drive.. Chrome can do SOME but not all of what it does. It also runs some Windows specific Ham Radio apps.
That is the biggie. Can the Chromebooks do EVERYTHING you need? If NO. then keep at least one Windows box and just add a CB to the pile.
I love my Chrome books
From opening box to browsing web in less time than the WIndows Machine needs to POST.
