Re: installing chromeos flex on older

You stated in your article

"Although Google doesn't advertise it, you can also use ChromeOS Flex to revitalize old Chromebooks. It works like a charm."

I'd be interested in knowing how you are going this, having recently tried to install flex, which boots off an old windows pc fine on both an arm64 and intel Chromebook, it was (unsurprisingly knowing the boot requirements) not having it.

Could you point me to how you are doing this. Thanks
