Google targets Windows refugees with ChromeOS Flex
Google has announced a solution for businesses facing the end of support for Windows 10 next year.
The company is introducing ChromeOS Flex, an auto-updating version of the Chrome operating system that can be installed on Windows devices. This move potentially saves millions of PCs from ending up in landfills once Microsoft discontinues support for Windows 10 on 14th October 2025.
With ChromeOS Flex, users can continue receiving regular security updates and features like data encryption on their Windows 10 systems. This ensures that these devices can still be used securely.
According to a report by Canalys Research, around 240 million PCs could be discarded if they're no longer supported by Windows 10. However, many of these devices could remain functional for years to come, providing a sustainable alternative to disposal.
