How to update Chrome: 4 options for any device
The way how to update the Chrome version depends on the system you use. If it’s ChomeOS, you can do this on system settings. Windows and macOS owners can do this on the Chrome browser settings. iOS and Android users should visit the app manager and check for new versions from there.

Chromebook is based on Chrome OS, so it has this browser by default. And you can update it in a few clicks:
Hold Alt + Shift + S combo to open settings.
Look for About Chrome.
Select Check for updates.
If the system detects a Chrome patch or update, it starts to load and install it immediately.
Update Chrome on Windows and macOS computers
Unlike ChromeOS, Windows, and macOS users don’t have Chrome as a proprietary app. They both need to install the desktop Google app. And Google creates highly-similar instructions on how to how update the google Chrome browser:
Open Chrome.
Find a menu (three dots near the profile icon at the top right screen) and click on it.
Choose Help → About Chrome.
