Where can I find more information about updating my Chromebook?

If you want to continue using your Chromebook after it reaches its “end of life” date, you’ll need to update it manually. Here’s where you can find more information about how to do that:

First, check the Google Chrome OS End of Life Policy page to see if your Chromebook model is affected:
https://www.google.com/chromebook/eol-policy.html
