Google says ChromeOS updates continue through mid-2034; many newer Chromebooks may qualify for Googlebook OS

Google’s support guidance says ChromeOS devices will receive regular updates and security patches through mid-2034. It also says many of its newest Chromebook devices may be eligible to transition to Googlebook OS.

Google sets a ChromeOS update horizon through mid-2034

The date covers regular ChromeOS updates and security patches. Each Chromebook has its own Auto Update Expiration (AUE) date, so the device’s update schedule is the useful one to check for its support timeline.

Many newer Chromebooks may qualify for Googlebook OS

Google says many of its newest Chromebook devices may be eligible to move to Googlebook OS, with direct migration paths available for many devices. That describes a possible transition for a group of newer devices.

Check your Chromebook’s update schedule

To find a Chromebook’s AUE date, open Settings → About ChromeOS → Additional details → Update schedule. The date is specific to the device.

What happens after a Chromebook’s final update

A Chromebook continues to function after its final update, but no longer receives ChromeOS or browser updates or technical support. Google also says some policies may not work as intended.
