I'm trying it now to upgrade a 2017 Acer Chromebook.

How did it go?

Not great. I chose my Chromebook from the ChromeOS Flex USB creator and created the USB.

As near as I can tell, my Chromebook pulled a restore image from the USB drive correctly. But when it was done, I was left with the exact same OS I started with.
