I have a good 64-bit chromebook and 16GB SD card. I want to use multiple noobs OSs, but my Pi was destroyed by my dog. Is this possible without buying a new Pi?

No, you cannot use NOOBS or any Raspberry Pi OS directly on a chromebook.

You need to buy a new Pi and keep it away from your dog!

Yes, it is possible. No, it is not easy.

First, you need to get qemu working. I have never tried it on a chromebook, but https://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/developer-information-for-chrome-os-devices/running-virtual-machines-on-your-chromebook suggests that it can be done.

Next step is to get your Pi image working under Qemu. https://azeria-labs.com/emulate-raspberry-pi-with-qemu/ gives a hint on how to do that. I have actually got this part working under Linux, but if you have qemu on your chromebook, it should work there too.

The result is somewhat disappointing in speed, but it functionally works.
