Google does not provide a standard file for ChromeOS Flex . Instead, the operating system is distributed as a recovery image in a zipped Google Help

1. Introduction
Chrome OS Flex is Google’s modern operating system designed to breathe new life into older Windows, Mac, and Linux devices. Unlike standard Chrome OS, Flex is intended for enterprise and personal testing on uncertified hardware. A common misconception is that Google provides a direct “ISO download” link. Instead, the official method involves the Chrome Web Store’s Chromebook Recovery Utility to generate a bootable USB image. This paper clarifies how to obtain the equivalent ISO-like image and make it work on target hardware.
