tks for the video guide to installing Flex on an Old Laptop! my inquires are, is there any interface for a CD or Blue Ray drive? you know these youths might not know what that is... thAt and was it possible to install drivers for the normal to touch pad, wifi etc, basically was there any compromise going from windows 7 etc to chrome OS? [ I have a 2008 laptop I'd like to experiment with Chrome flex]

If you're having trouble with the inbuilt laptop wifi card not detecting the wifi, I've found success with USB dongles with the 'Ralink rt5370' chipset. Tried a few from UK Amazon, and all found the wifi and connected. Hope this helps!

Does your pc have a built in WiFi connector?

I have a unique problem while attempting to install OS Flex on my HP Notebook - 15-af006ax, after the Chrome OS flex logo my screen start flickering like a damaged one and nothing i can see in it to allow any operations. I tried 20+ reboots but still same. Has anyone else experienced a similar problem, and is there a solution to it? It's worth noting that my screen works perfectly with Windows, but only flickers when I try to install Chrome OS Flex.

It doesn't work on eepc with intel atom and 2GB RAM!

[@andygozzo72]

theyre not 64bit, thats why, so this os flex isnt any use for 32 bit machines, i dont class 64bit as 'old', to me thats fairly recent!

[@smartninja3651]

@@andygozzo72 64 bits have been here for more than 10 years

[@andygozzo72]

@@smartninja3651 i know, but to me 10 years or so isnt 'old' 😉

Chrome OS reaches the so called “end of life” and then your device becomes kinda’ useless…how about the Chrome OS Flex, is there an “end of life “ or support for this too? I don’t expect 20 years but my Chromebooks reached EOL after about 4-5 years only

[@andygozzo72]

not a lot of use if you have a 32bit machine, i dont class 64bit as 'old' ....so not really for 'old' machines..
