Chrome OS Flex is here to resurrect your old hardware
Chrome OS Flex got its start at NeverWare, which developed a version of the OS it called CloudReady that made it easier to install Chrome OS on unsupported devices. Google acquired NeverWare in 2020 and folded it into the Chrome OS team, and thus Flex was born.is designed to be simple with minimal hardware requirements to maximize the number of devices that can run it.
Because it runs on hardware without Google's own security chips, Flex doesn't offer Chrome OS verified boot. Microsoft supports Flex's bootloader, so some Windows devices may allow UEFI secure boot in Flex.Because Flex devices may not have a Trusted Platform Module, Flex won't store encryption keys at the hardware level.Flex does not support running Windows VMs through Parallels.Non-Flex certified devices cannot be enrolled in the Google Admin console.
Optical drives, fingerprint readers, FireWire ports, IR and face recognition cameras, docks and connectors, styluses and pens and Thunderbolt are all unsupported. Google did say that USB-C and mini Displayport will both still work despite the lack of Thunderbolt support. ®
