  1. Navigate to Settings.

    From the Desktop, click the time at bottom right corner, and then click the Settings icon.

  2. If you're using the Chromebook at work or school, and you switch from Dev to Beta or Beta to Stable, the Chromebook won't immediately update. The software will update when a new, more stable software version matches the version already installed. Apps, data, and settings won't be deleted.

  3. Change the OS channel to Stable.

    Click About Chrome OS and then click Additional details. Click change channel and then, choose Stable. Click Change channel and Powerwash. The Chromebook will reset, you will need to sign in with your Google account again.
