Using a Chromebook? Below we will see when it expires. This is something that every Windows user should understand. The big difference, however, between Google and Microsoft is that the former has an expiry date before the machine is sold.
Microsoft arbitrarily decides when it stops support for a particular chip – and the company's decision is announced after the initial launch of the device.
Usually the advertisements of Chromebooks also have the AUE expiration date. However, if you don't know your Chromebook's expiration date, it's easy to look it up. Google has an easily accessible list computers along with their expiration dates.
But what is the expiration date?
Every Chromebook has a “Auto Update Expiration (AUE) Date ”and refers to the date that Google will support the operating system that your computer is“ wearing ”.
If you can't find a specific Chromebook model name with the expiry date in the list, you can use the following way:
Open your Chromebook and Chrome at the internal chrome: // version.
Where it says Platform, look at the end of the codename. For example, it might say “stable channel snappy". Then open it σελίδα, and look for the code name that your system has. You will find the brand of your computer and the expiry date of AUE.
Please note that after the expiry date of the AUE, myou can continue to use your Chromebook, but your operating system will not be updated.
The device will display a notice of type:
This device will no longer receive the latest software updates. Consider an upgrade.
Security is an issue, although the Chromebook is one of the safest devices to roll out thanks to the sandboxing of apps and other techniques used by Google.
So although there is an issue it seems to be less serious than it would be, for example, on a Windows computer.
