  • Devs secretly make software and hardware not work on camera just to make sure Michael MJD is miserable when installing while recording.

    Honestly, ChromeOS Flex is ideal for machines like that Gateway or the HP Stream, which I honestly believe was designed to be a Chromebook, but a last-minute decision caused them to become Windows machines instead.
  • This is absolutely my favorite series, because it is always funny seeing how many problems could occur in the setup due to some very light changes or just because of old hardware. Great content like always Michael MJD!
  • @singletona082
    As a beta tester for chromeOS (sadly don't still have the CR48) I approve of this firey trainwreck.
  • @dannymac653
    Twice a day per timezone, there are probably people freaking out and wondering how the clock in the video matches the current time.
  • @seangraham2879
    it wouldn't be an MJD video without something going wrong lol but honestly man love the videos
  • It’s really unusual that Flex was giving you that many issues. I’ve tried it on 3 “unsupported” devices (15’ 2014 MacBook Pro, Thinkpad T460, and even a Dell Optiplex 3060 MFF) and I had no issues at all. Everything worked. Anyways, great video as always!
  • @Holdenwhite17
    I cant believe I've been watching this since 2019. Love the content. Keep it up!
  • @jamesperih9658
    Good thing you didn’t attempt to partition. I found that older versions of CloudReady will actually remove ALL partitions, repartition, and install, without user intervention.
  • @elcael
    I know it's never an MJD video if everything goes smoothly... so damn, this gotta be the most MJD video I've seen so far 🤣
  • @santosmurilo
    I just installed it on my ANCIENT MSI MS-1454 and boy, the Chrome OS Flex installed at the first time with no issues at all! It's running the OS flawlessly with no problems! That's my boy!
  • @moelester7527
    I clicked on the notification immediately when I saw "everything goes wrong".
  • @tromick
    Out of his voice, I love MJD videos cuz he shares all the problems that he deals with... Makes me remember my similar experiences! Thank you MJD!
  • @sudo64
    finnaly a new vid from micheal mjd, i've been waiting for this !
  • I was going to try this on some of my low spec old laptops, glad I didn't yet. Thanks for all your content, really enjoy it!
  • @blainepalmerza
    i love seeing "everything goes wrong" in the title. Anyways, awesome video, Michael!
  • @cutieclysm

  • @andykillsu
    Now this is a classic MJD series ‘Everything goes wrong’ xD
  • @stevef6392
    "Baseboard Manufacturer: GPU Company" Someone totally didn't give a damn about that poor laptop.
