Use of ChromeOS

#1

Post by luisloayza »

I am a newly-called FH consultant in my ward. I have just found out the computers in the FHC run ChromeOS, and since I am not used to this OS, I am wondering if any of you can help me with some kind of guideline or manual. Thanks in advance

Any type of manual is likely on-line or part of the help system. By in large, ChromeOS is the Chrome browser. Since most of family history is online, that works well.

I'd suggest sitting down and playing with it a bit, or with the help of someone who has used it. About all you'd need to know is how to start it, log in, fire up the browser and then shut down when done. It's different than Windows, but not wildly different. It's more like going to a new version of Windows.

Please review the following website that was written for mobile Center Chromebooks, but most of it still applies to a center.
