Open the Chromebook recovery extension in chrome. Click on the gear in the top right. Choose Erase recovery media and select your USB. Click, continue then erase.

Thanks. Great video and a great delivery style. It's so good to find a PC expert who delivers excellent technical advice and doesn't shout and 'carry on'.

LESSS GO! I knew my old, barely functioning 2010 laptop would be useful again!

[@waynetomo867]

This worked really well for me the tutorial is really clear I just followed it step by step on my phone. You might want to do a follow up video about fixing keyboard bugs. Some of the keys had changed eg the @ key has moved to upper case 2 I got round it by viewing the keyboard on screen.But really pleased will the result

What to do when the chrome recovery utility hangs at 0% on the writing phase?

[@wc5723]

I read that Chrome OS Flex is being partially or fully abandoned by the developers, I was going to install it on an old mediatek cpu chromebook 311 I have that is too slow to use but now looking for other alternatives...maybe I'm wrong, monitoring the situation for now...

[@joshstubbs3290]

My 6 year old samsung galaxy tab pro s is running windows and the battery doesnt last long, it also overheats so hopefully chrome os flex will help with that

[@FrançoiseJotterand]

Not possible in Switzerland, no computer is compatible with the extension Chrome Recovery Utility, which generates a message telling this computer (as any other I tried, even Cromebooks) is not compatible with Chrome OS... There is not the parameters menu on top right to choose other options, like installing from a locale source... Is this extension hacked?

[@stylesparrowshop]

Can go with my toshiba Satellite C55Dt-a105 laptop?

[@jayjonesii4049]

Thank you for the video on the idea of switching Chrome OS Flex for PCs that can't handle Windows 11 because of Microsoft's strict requirements which is ridiculous. The video is great and interesting.

[@mdhamza1630]

Bro there is no other options to select wifi network what is solution?

[@googliter]

It looks like the flash drive was formatted FAT. I have an HP EliteBook 840 G1 laptop, can't install. Is there anything in the BIOS, like legacy or secure boot? Do i have to format the drive? It doesn't even detect the flash drive?.. :/

[@depmusic7156]

I installed it on two systems, why does it not recognize Wi-Fi?

[@chouaibekaudeer4473]

can we create a seperate partition on the hdd so as we can have the option to boot from chroms os flex or windows (in cases we need softwares that can't be used on the chrome os flex)

[@TheHowToGuy123]

@@chouaibekaudeer4473 No you cannot dual boot chrome OS flex

[@TiburonJon7]

NOTE: The Chromebook Recovery Utility says that LINUX IS CURRENTLY UNSUPPORTED, so my PC running Linux cannot follow these steps. I'm going to have to figure out whether it will work on VirtualBox Windows or not. See ya later!

[@AlexIwanaga]

1where is the battery symbol?

[@lavapoison]

I have an optiplex 755 that I would wanna give a new life to, but it’s only MBR/legacy boot, what do I do? For more context it starts the boot and the chrome OS flex logo appears, but it’s blank for eternity after that

[@StefanLypka]

Thanks for the videos, just gone through a few of them, very informative.! Can you install chrome on an 2008 MacBook? It just about works with El Capitan, but fancy adding a dual boot with crime or Linux for extra functionality. Your thoughts?

Has anyone found a way to have Flex recognize a CD or DVD drive?

[@surenbono6063]

[@TheHowToGuy123]

Google doesn't provide an iso for ChromeOS flex. The only way to get it is from the recovery tool.

Does the Chrome OS Flex let me download video games？

[@scooterdude17]

Is there a workaround to get it to work on 32-bit systems?

[@horationelson57]

Two quick questions, please? Is Chrome OS as utilitarian as Linux mint would be? And, in terms of speeding up an old laptop, is Chrome more lightweight than Linux, as well as my Win10? Thank you!

[@kuro1109]

Simple question no, chrome os flex is more lightweight than windows but other linux distro is better, flex is easier to use though it is very simplistic and minimalistic in term of usage

The creation of the USB drive tog more like 1 hour then the 10 minutes that you mentioned

Creation time can vary depending on the USB drive you are using...

Usb, pc and Internet will affect it. Took less than two minutes for me.
