Update an old openelec chromebox installation

Hello, I've got an old asus chromebox running openelec that I would like to upgrade to libreelec. Everywhere I've searched says that there was a migration file that was placed in the update folder of openelec. I cannot find this file any more. Are there any alternatives to updating this device? I do not care about existing files and configurations. I've tried putting the current libreelec file on a usb drive but I cannot get it to boot from it and I cannot get into the bios or anything other than openelec.

LE project staff aren't very knowledgeable on Chromebox boot, so I'd start with MrChromebox.tech for ideas. You probably can't do an update migration from OE > LE because the OE install will have a 232MB boot parition and this is too small for the current 250MB-ish LE files.

Ok thanks, I’ll have a look.
