ChromeOS Flex is a fast, secure, and easy-to-manage operating system designed to breathe new life into aging hardware. It can be installed on a wide range of devices, including older Windows PCs, Macs, and laptops that no longer receive official updates. With minimal system requirements, ChromeOS Flex transforms these machines into fast, cloud-first devices ideal for web browsing, productivity, and remote learning or work.
Built on the same foundation as ChromeOS, Flex offers seamless integration with Google Workspace, automatic updates, built-in virus protection, and rapid boot times. It's especially useful for schools, businesses, and individuals looking to extend the lifespan of their existing hardware without the complexity or cost of traditional operating systems.
ChromeOS Flex relies heavily on Web Apps to deliver a fast, lightweight, and cloud-centric computing experience. Web Apps run directly in the browser, eliminating the need for traditional software installation and keeping the system clutter-free. They're always up to date, secure, and accessible from any device with a browser. Whether you're using tools like Google Docs, Zoom, Teams, Teamviewer, or Canva, Web Apps make ChromeOS Flex ideal for productivity, collaboration, and everyday tasks—all without heavy system requirements.
