I have an external hard drive plugged into my laptop which is running Chrome OS Flex. I’d like to be able to access this from my main computer which is another laptop running Windows 11.

Is this even possible? What would be the best way to do this?

There is no Plex server for Chrome OS.  
Therefore you cannot do this with Plex.

Thanks for your response. What if I were to install a Linux environment on either/both computers?

It could work under Linux. Although I’m suspecting that the hardware of this Chromebook is not really suited to power a Plex server.

Where can I find some more resources about this, do you have any idea? I only intend to play music from off of Plex, using a laptop that was built in 2018.
