Obsolete? I have 5 year old Chromebooks I use daily and those are untouched. The windows 11 ones I use more obviously. Easy to do and makes them infinitely more useful

Interesting, I have one from 2018 that’s on the last OS update ☹️

Yeah they don't get OS updates forever. Doesn't make them any less useful though
