Can I install ChromeOS Flex on my tablet?

Q Having read Issue 638’s How To on installing ChromeOS Flex on an old laptop, I was wondering whether it would also work on my old Lenovo B8000-F tablet, which runs Android 4.4.2 and is displaying an ‘end of life’ message?

 We don’t have a Lenovo B8000-F tablet to try this on,) that it works only on devices with an Intel or AMD processor. Full access to the device’s BIOS is also required. Most Android tablets (including the Lenovo B8000-F) have ARM processors, and don’t have a traditional PC BIOS, effectively ruling out installing Flex.
