In this video I’m going though a step by step guide that shows how to run Chrome OS Flex live from a USB stick. For this demonstration I’m using an old and slow Windows laptop. This Windows laptop only has 2GB RAM and a Celeron processor and doesn’t run very well under Windows 10.
SORRY FOR THIS RE-UPLOAD. YOUTUBE ONLY ENCODED THE FIRST VERSION TO 360P, THIS VERSION IS 4K.
Here’s some links to USB flash drives & Chromebooks on Amazon, I personally use SanDisk for important stuff.

This is also a good demonstration of dual booting Chrome OS Flex with Windows. In this instance, Windows is on the internal drive and Chrome OS Flex is booting from the USB stick. At this time you can’t dual boot Chrome OS Flex from the same internal drive as Windows, although you can do this if you two separate internal drives, something I will be doing in another video soon.
You can also install Chrome OS Flex directly to the internal boot drive of the computer that you want to put it on, here’s one of my videos showing you how to do that.

The first step to run Chrome OS Flex live from a USB flash drive is to create a bootable Chrome OS Flex USB stick, here is another video of mine showing how to create the Chrome OS Flex bootable USB stick.

The second step is to use your computer’s boot key to select the drive you want to boot from.
Here’s some common boot keys.
Manufacturer Boot key
Acer F2
Apple Hold Option (next to the ⌘ key)
Asus Del
Dell F12
Gateway F1
HP F9
Intel F2
Lenovo F12
Toshiba F2 or F12
Other Try pressing Esc, any of F1-F12 keys, or Enter
The next stage in this video is the installation to the USB stick.
Next stage is setting up Chrome OS Flex with a Google account.
Next stage is to finally boot into the Chrome OS Flex desktop.
I then show the YouTube app running on Chrome OS Flex and playing 4K 60FPS game capture footage.
I then show how to switch back to windows and how to re-boot back to Chrome OS Flex from the live USB stick.
Here are the chapters for this video.
