How to get a ChromeOS iso or equivalent?
I would like to install ChromeOS on an older laptop I have - does anyone know where I can download an ISO or otherwise install the OS without purchasing a chromebook or pixelbook?

is the neverware link to freware or trialware? It looks like trialware.
The home version is unsupported freeware...
If you want support, you need paid versions...

I don't think the home version installs, it just boots from the USB. Not a problem, but not the best scenario either. The CR_OS linux version is still downloading.
I take it back. I just found how to install while looking for how to display the ipv4 address. It is in the process of installing now.
Although the neverware seems to be the solution, I am now having trouble removing it and installing a different OS (like Ubuntu or Kali Linux). So although this is the solution, it is not the best for an older system. It would probably be better to purchase a pixelbook - when I can work that into the budget.
Removal should not be that hard... Every installer I have ever used has an option to remove existing partitions.
I tried installing a new OS from USB (as I did the previous one) and the screen just remains blank. Part of the problem is that this is a circa 2003 laptop. It came with Windows XP on it and I upgraded it years ago to Windows 7 Pro (when that was new). It now has a problem with it's battery - which does not retain a charge. The system is so slow, I need to turn it on and then do something else while it boots up (boot up takes about 10-15 minutes). So still working on it. I may go back to a small linux install.
