Trying out Chrome OS Flex

Today and yesterday I've been trying out Chrome OS Flex on a laptop I've had since 2020 because the laptop sometimes lags with Windows 11. I've been using a live boot since I still need access to Windows 11 for some course material once I start college. The experience has been great and I have no complaints. It's definitely made my computer faster and I will continue to see what I can do with my USB drive since it now contains Chrome OS Flex, the operating system I primarily use with this laptop now. My USB drive is a 32 GB model and most of the storage is used by the system itself so I will see if I can eventually get a bigger drive since I really do love Chrome OS Flex and how it seamlessly interacts with my Samsung Galaxy S22 but I also don't want to replace Windows on this laptop unless emulation on my M2 MacBook ends up being a success with my courses since my MacBook is newer and my Windows laptop isn't recommended for use during all 4 years but I might need Windows for certain tasks. I have a Dell Inspiron 3593 with an Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-1005G1 CPU @ 1.20GHz (4 threads, 3.40GHz) but UTA wants at least an i5 which I don't have. Also, do any of you know where I can get a copy of Windows 11 for a UTM virtual machine and if I need to activate the OS to use it fully?
