Comment: Rather than continuing to decline this is being rejected as multiple attempts failed to produce more than a single independent reliable source with significant coverage. Jerod Lycett (talk) 00:41, 17 August 2026 (UTC)

Chrome Readiness Assessment (CRA), also formally known as the ChromeOS Readiness Tool or Chrome Readiness Tool. CRA is a software assessment tool developed by Codimite for evaluating Windows device environments before a potential migration to ChromeOS or ChromeOS Flex.[1][2]
The tool uses a Windows data collection application and a web-based dashboard to provide information about application usage, device readiness, and migration suitability for IT administrators.[1][3]
Also, CRA tool generated reports, categorized devices by cloud-readiness, and provided application-usage details.[4]
History
[edit]In October 2024, a newer version of the ChromeOS Readiness Tool was introduced during Chrome Summit 2024. The earlier version of the tool had been available for nearly four years, while the updated version was described as a way for administrators to assess whether a migration to ChromeOS or ChromeOS Flex was feasible.[1]
In 2025, the ChromeOS Readiness Tool was described as having originally been created to identify users suitable for ChromeOS pilots before later expanding into a wider compatibility assessment tool.[5]
In January 2026, ChromeOS Readiness Tool version 1.15.2 was listed as software for supporting and diagnosing migration from Windows to ChromeOS.[6]
In May 2026, Chrome Readiness Assessment was described as a tool for evaluating desktop, browser, application, and security environments before organizations make decisions related to Google Workspace, Gemini, ChromeOS, and Chrome Enterprise Premium.[7]
Functionality
[edit]The Chrome Readiness Tool collects information from Windows devices to support assessment before a possible migration to ChromeOS or ChromeOS Flex.[1][3] Administrators can install a Windows data collection application on existing devices to gather information used in migration planning.[1]
Published descriptions state that the tool can collect application usage data, compare applications with ChromeOS-ready application information, calculate cloud-readiness, and produce dashboards and downloadable reports.[3]
Other listed assessment areas include readiness reports, browser insights, application usage, hardware inventory, and peripheral-related information.[5]
The assessment has also been described as including Google Workspace and Gemini readiness information, such as installed productivity applications, file-type dependencies, macro usage, and installed AI applications.[7]
Application and device analysis
[edit]The tool records information about applications used on Windows devices, including applications running in the foreground and background. It also records peripheral usage that may be relevant to a ChromeOS migration assessment.[1]
Applications that are not found in the tool’s default database can be reviewed and classified by administrators according to the organization’s own requirements.[4]
Reporting and data handling
[edit]The Chrome Readiness Tool generates reports for IT administrators reviewing ChromeOS migration readiness. Reports can be organized by group, which may help administrators compare readiness across departments or user groups.[1]
Published materials state that collected data is stored locally on the organization’s network and does not leave the organization.[3] Also, data collection is controlled by administrators, and stored data is described as encrypted.[5]
