You can opt into receiving
extended automatic updates

Chromebooks update automatically to keep your software secure and speedy. Your device has received its final automatic update, but you have options for next steps.

Your Chromebook is eligible for extended updates

You have the option to extend automatic updates to ten years and receive continued support for security, performance and stability on your device.

However, devices that receive extended support will lose the functionality to run Android apps or the Google Play store, and any existing Android apps will be uninstalled. Android app support is removed when you opt into extended updates to maintain security, performance, and stability on your device.

You also have other options for your device

Continue to use without updates

While your Chromebook is most secure with automatic updates, you can continue to use your device. Even without automatic updates, Chromebooks come with strong security features like verified boot.

Recycle your laptop

Many Chromebooks are made with recyclable materials. If you're ready to let go of your old Chromebook, simply search for "electronics recycling near me" on Google to find verified services that can recycle your laptop for you.
