Chrome OS Flex will revive old PCs and Macs into Chromebook
Chrome OS Flexa new operating system from Google, aims to convert your existing PC or Mac into a Chromebook.
To increase its share of the desktop operating system market, Google has announced Chrome OS Flex, a new Chrome OS-based operating system that the Mountain View tech giant claims is ‘quick,’ ‘simple to operate,’ and’secure.’ Chrome OS Flex is designed to’modernize’ your existing PCs and Macs.
Chrome OS Flex is a free-to-download operating system designed for businesses and schools that is fully compatible with Google’s sophisticated cloud-based administration. However, it should not be confused with Chrome OS, as the two are not same.
While Chrome OS Flex shares the same code base and release schedule as Chrome OS, one significant distinction is that the former will be unable to access the Google Play Store. That is, Chrome OS Flex laptops will be unable to run Android applications.

The company indicated that the stable version will be available in the second quarter of 2022. Additionally, if you’re already using CloudReadyyou’ll be able to upgrade to Chrome OS Flex once Google releases the stable version of the operating system.
