Revives old PC in the way we used to use Linux

Google’s Chrome OS Flex has officially arrived to revive old PCs and Macs, by turning them into Chromebooks.

Like Chrome OS, Flex is a lightweight cloud-based operating system that doesn’t require the most advanced components to run smoothly. Google claims the OS will boot quickly, receive the same update cadence as Chrome OS, and provide access to the Chrome browser, Google Assistant, and other features (Family Link accounts, Smart Lock, Instant Tethering, and Nearby Share), all from the same UI as Chrome OS.

ID admins can effortlessly upgrade to Chrome OS devices when the time comes.

Chrome OS Flex is primarily meant for businesses and schools running large fleets of old Windows PCs, including those from Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo, LG, and others. It also works with Macs, including some that are up to 10 years old.
