 Hello everyone, this is Amit Dan of amitdan.com. Today I'll have another episode of Chrome OS Tips and Tricks video and I'll talk about my experience installing Chrome OS Flex on my old Acer Network 1. If this is your first time or if you visit, thank you for your support on this channel. I'm always trying new and different ideas. If you're into thinking outside the box, this is the channel to subscribe. If you're looking for more Chromebook videos, there will be links in the description box below. Chrome OS Flex is a new version of Chrome OS operating system that can be installed on very old computers or MacBooks. However, still your computer has to be on the certified list by Google and I'll put the link to the certified model list in the description box below. So what happened? My Acer Chromebook event was not on the certified list and I kind of knew that it's not going to work but I still wanted to give it a try to see you know what happens. So I tried installing Chrome OS on my very old Acer Network. I don't remember exactly but I think I purchased this in 2010 or even could be 2009. So it's very old and you can see that the picture where you see the you know model number and everything. So there are different ways you can install Chrome OS Flex and I chose the easiest one way to do it which is a Chrome browser extension and this is called Chromebook Recover Utility and you can easily install this browser by going to the Chrome Web Store where you'll see the if you search for the Chromebook Recover Utility you'll be able to see that. So I just installed that browser on my old network Acer Aspire 1 and you can hear sometimes you know the noise from the network because it is so old that you know it just makes noise and it's very slow. So it took me a long time just to install the browser utility which is the Chromebook Recover Utility. So once I'm done then I tried installing Chrome OS Flex on the network. So what happens initially it looked like you know it's working because I was able to see the message Chrome OS Flex but then after that the screen went black and there's nothing. So I was just waiting and waiting and then you know once in a while I hear I heard the sound of the operating system asking me what to do but the thing is I couldn't do anything because you know the keyboard or the mousepad was not responsive so it's just listening what the voice was telling me but for me there's no way to do anything and the screen was all black. So I waited about 10 minutes or so and I knew that you know this is not going to work but I was sure that you know this was installed or the system is trying to install the Chrome OS Flex but it just you know this Acer Aspire 1 network is not on the verified computer list and there's no way this is going to work but I just wanted to try and see what happened and you know even if it ruined up my Windows operating system I think this one has seven if I'm not mistaken then it's okay because it you know I cannot or I do not use this network anywhere because this is kind of like you know beyond any uses it's so old and so slow that I cannot even you know write your email or load a web page it's just you know very painfully slow. So at the end I gave up and I turned off my computer but definitely you know it was trying to install and you can see that where you can it shows that Chrome OS Flex but after that everything went blank blank and that's how it stayed until I turned off my computer. So if you're trying to install a Chrome OS Flex then you know check the verified computer list to see if your device is on that list if not you can try but I doubt that is going to work just like you know mine but you know I just wanted to see what happens and that's what happened to me. So that's all I wanted to share thank you for watching this video there will be more videos coming up so I'll see you shortly thank you
