Installing Chrome OS Flex: A Step-by-Step Guide



Developed by Google, Chrome OS Flex offers a streamlined and efficient experience, especially for devices with limited hardware capabilities. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you install Chrome OS Flex on your device.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, ensure you have the following:

- A USB flash drive with at least 8 GB of storage.

- A computer with an internet connection.

- A device you want to install Chrome OS Flex on 


 Visit the Chrome OS Flex official website and download the Chrome OS Flex installer.

Open the Chrome browser and install the Chromebook Recovery Utility extension from the Chrome Web Store.

Launch the Chromebook Recovery Utility.

   - Click on the gear icon in the top-right corner and select "Use local image."

   - Navigate to the location where you downloaded the Chrome OS Flex installer.

   - Insert your USB flash drive and select it from the list of devices.

   - Click "Continue" and then "Create now" to begin the process. This may take a few minutes.


Shut down the device you want to install Chrome OS Flex on.

   - Insert the bootable USB drive into the device.

Power on the device and immediately press the key to access the boot menu. This key varies by manufacturer (often F12, F2, ESC, or DEL). Refer to your device’s manual if you’re unsure.

In the boot menu, select your USB flash drive to boot from it. This will start the Chrome OS Flex installer.


Once booted from the USB drive, you'll see the Chrome OS Flex welcome screen. Click "Get Started."

You can choose to either "Try it first" or "Install CloudReady" (the underlying technology for Chrome OS Flex). If you want to explore Chrome OS Flex before committing, choose the try option. Otherwise, proceed with the installation.


If you choose to install, follow the on-screen instructions. You'll be prompted to erase your hard drive, so ensure you have backed up any important data.


The installation process will take a few minutes. Once complete, the device will restart automatically.
