One of the greatest paradoxes of modern times is the fact that the old PC has more computing power than in the top Chromebook model. So, we can revive a computer that has long been dusting in the closet with Chrome OS, theverge reports .
You can convert an old Mac or Windows PC into a chromebook using the CloudReady program, developed by the New York startup “Neverware”. The software, in fact, uses a modified version of Chromium, which Google has made available to third-party developers. Now most often CloudReady is installed on school computers, which allows us to give a second life to the old equipment. The startup also provides an opportunity for free to download the software developed by it to simple users.
Previously, the use of CloudReady led to the reinstallation of the OS and the removal of all files stored on the hard disk. But last month, Neverware introduced a new feature that allows users of their product to use the “dual boot” OS. When you turn on your computer, you have the choice of booting Chrome OS or an old operating system. This allows you to enjoy the speed of CloudReady, while not losing previously saved files.
