ChromeOS Support Timeline Official

Google Confirms 2034 ChromeOS Support Timeline Amid Transition to Android Googlebooks

Google has made official its timeline to provide ChromeOS updates and security patches through mid-2034 as it shifts from Chromebooks to Android-based Googlebooks. Although Chromebooks are advertised with 10-year support, devices bought today may receive only about eight more years of ChromeOS updates; Google says some newer models, particularly commercial devices, can migrate to Googlebook OS but has not identified eligible devices or explained the process. Options are expected for Chromebooks whose support windows extend beyond 2034, though details have not been released. Googlebooks will also receive 10 years of support, while management features for enterprise and education customers are not expected until the second half of 2027. Google has not clarified whether the 2034 timeline applies equally to consumer devices, and existing Chrome Enterprise and Education licenses will not automatically carry over; new Googlebook licensing terms remain unannounced.
