**CloudReady** is a Chromium OS [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:f:fork|fork]] called CloudReady aimed at the educational market, with the intention of extending the life of older PCs and laptops. A subsequent version can dual-boot Neverware and the Windows [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:o:os|operating system]] (until v64).  

CloudReady is built on Google's open-source operating system Chromium. Neverware customizes CloudReady so it can be installed and used on PC and Macintosh hardware up to 13 years old, making them behave more like a Chromebook.

Although the company began with an exclusive focus on the US K-12 education sector, it announced in October 2017 its intention to use its Series B funding from Google to further expand into the enterprise market.
