Chrome OS Flex
You can have your old laptop or computer ‘transformed’ to a Chromebook. To make this possible, Google released Chrome OS Flex; a lightweight custom version of Chrome OS for your own device. The installation is via a USB stick and takes only a few minutes, according to Google. The new Chrome OS Flex can work with many Intel and AMD devices. The focus is on companies and schools, but anyone who wants to can get started with the operating system. You can find out exactly on which devices it can be installed on this page of Google. Here we also see Apple MacBooks.
Chrome OS Flex should be the same in terms of experience as the regular version of Chrome OS. For example, the same code is used and the same cycle will also be used for updates. However, not everything is equal, so (at least at the moment) the option to download Android apps from the Google Play Store is missing. You can download Chrome OS Flex from this site, from Google itself. With this new step, Google also hopes to reduce e-waste, the mountain of waste from electrical appliances.
