   You are done for a time of 6-ish years depending on the 'expiration'   
   date of your particular hardware as regards its ChromeOS updating.   
      
   My own chromebook's updates expires in about a year.  My friend's   
   chromebook updates expired and she bought a new chromebook.  If that had   
   been me, I would have either continued using the expired (non-updating)   
   chromeos or if I were unhappy w/ its non-updatedness, I would install a   
   linux Gallium OS in it.   
      
   I looked into that neverware business to try to figure it out.  I'll   
   have to go back and refresh my 'memory' about what I learned.  I do know   
   that I wasn't happy enough to try it.  I believe there was a problem the   
   provided strategy about how to get it booted up that I didn't like.
