How do I check how long my Chromebook receives updates?

On the Chromebook, open Settings and go to About ChromeOS. Select Additional details, then find Update schedule. Google directs users to that section for the device’s update-until date. [S1]

The date is specific to the device you are checking, so use the date shown there rather than guessing from the Chromebook’s age or product name.

Look for the Additional details option on that page and open it; Update schedule is within that section according to Google’s instructions. [S1] If you still cannot find it, check that you are looking in the Chromebook’s Settings rather than a browser page, and note the labels or screen you do see.

Menu wording or layout might not match what you expect. The supplied Google information establishes the route above, but it does not explain every possible screen variation or why a particular device might not display the section. If the path remains unavailable, use Google’s official Chromebook support information for help with your device.

Treat it as the date associated with the device’s update schedule—not as a statement that the Chromebook will stop turning on or functioning on that day. Google says older devices eventually stop receiving software updates when their hardware can no longer support newer versions. [S1] The cited information does not establish what will happen to every app, website, or feature on your particular device after its displayed date, so avoid interpreting the date as a guarantee about those services.

For a practical check, record the displayed date and the device name shown in your Chromebook’s settings. That gives you a clear reference if you later ask Google or the device maker about the schedule.

Use the date shown under Update schedule for the Chromebook you are checking. Google’s cited page describes a general 10-year update policy for models released from 2021 onward, but it specifically directs users to check the device’s own displayed schedule rather than assume a deadline from that general statement. [S1]

For example, suppose your settings show an update-until date of [date shown on your device]. Write down that date as the schedule for that Chromebook. Do not replace it with a calculated date based only on when you bought it or with an assumed 10-year date. The cited source does not establish a deadline for an individual Chromebook without checking its displayed schedule.

Copy and fill in this template:

Chromebook update schedule check

• Device name or model shown in Settings: [name/model]
• Checked in: Settings → About ChromeOS → Additional details → Update schedule
• Update-until date displayed: [date]
• Date I checked: [date]
• Anything I could not find or read: [brief note]

Keep the device description and displayed date together. If you have more than one Chromebook, check each one separately; do not assume their schedules match. Google’s instructions identify the displayed schedule as the place to find a device-specific update-until date. [S1]
