How to create a Chrome OS Flex USB installer

Introdução

ChromeOS Flex is a fast, secure, cloud-based, easy-to-manage operating system that can be installed on both Macs and PCs. The overall purpose of this operating system is to refresh older devices by increasing their performance. The OS also gives older hardware a new life by providing the latest in security updates, and performance enhancements.

While ChromeOS Flex is a flexible operating system, it does have recommended system requirements, just like other operating systems.

RAM: 8GB or more
