My 9 years old Lenovo G45 with integrated AMD APU graphics will get another life :D Internet browsing, Chrome extensions, and video calls. That is all I needed.

I have an optiplex 755 that I would wanna give a new life to, but it’s only MBR/legacy boot, what do I do? For more context it starts the boot and the chrome OS flex logo appears, but it’s blank for eternity after that

Thanks for the videos, just gone through a few of them, very informative.! Can you install chrome on an 2008 MacBook? It just about works with El Capitan, but fancy adding a dual boot with crime or Linux for extra functionality. Your thoughts?

Great vid Kyle, thanks. I'm on Win10 and looking for a different OS. I did consider Linux running Gnome but I just don't understand it.

My 6 year old samsung galaxy tab pro s is running windows and the battery doesnt last long, it also overheats so hopefully chrome os flex will help with that

It looks like the flash drive was formatted FAT. I have an HP EliteBook 840 G1 laptop, can't install. Is there anything in the BIOS, like legacy or secure boot? Do i have to format the drive? It doesn't even detect the flash drive?.. :/
