How to Update Google Chrome

Select Help. It's near the bottom of the drop-down menu. Selecting Help will prompt a pop-out window. If you see an Update Google Chrome option near the top of this menu, click it instead.

Click About Google Chrome. This option is at the top of the pop-out window.

Wait for Google Chrome to update. The update process should only take a couple of minutes at most. If you see a message here that says "Google Chrome is up to date", your browser doesn't need to update right now.

Restart Google Chrome. You can do so by clicking the Relaunch button that appears after Chrome finishes updating, or you can simply close and reopen Chrome. Your browser should now be up to date. You can check the status of your Chrome browser by revisiting the "About Google Chrome" page and looking for the "Google Chrome is up to date" message on the left side of the page.
