In light of this, why wouldn’t you want to install Chrome OS Flex on an older computer? In any case, there is a lengthy list of restrictions that are associated with the installation process. For starters, Google warns that Android apps, Google Play, and Parallels Desktop support are no longer supported. Google does not have the ability to handle firmware updates for Chrome OS Flex devices, nor does it have the ability to provide verified boot capabilities.
All of this gives the impression that installing Chrome OS Flex on an older PC is a “use at your own risk” type of project—albeit one that can still transform your older PC into a Chromebook, and for no additional cost.
