One of the first things that most people install on a fresh PC is an additional web browser. Google Chrome offers a fast and reliable web browser and is the browser of choice for many people.
Today, we’re going to show you how to download Google Chrome on Windows 10, how to install Google Chrome and how to set it as the default web browser in Windows 10.
1. Head across to https://google.com and search for Chrome
2. You’ll see a heading for downloading Google Chrome so we’ll just click on the link.
3. You’ll see that the Google Chrome installer stub file is downloading. When that’s finished we’ll double click it to start the installation.
4. Now that it’s installed it opens itself. This the Google Chrome browser window.
5. You might want to pin this to the bar at the bottom of the Windows desktop screen. To do this, right click on the icon and then click PIN TO TASKBAR.
6. You may also want to move it across to be next to the Edge icon or somewhere else. To do this, simply point at the icon, hold your mouse button down, and drag it across the bar to where you prefer to see it.
7. When we close Google Chrome, and then open it again, Chrome will ask if it should be the default web browser. If this is going to be our default web browser, just click USE AS DEFAULT. This will open up the default settings dialogue box. Once we’re in there, you will see that we’ve got different programs for different purposes. Where it says WEB BROWSER TASKS, we need to click and then select Google Chrome. Microsoft will try to convince us to keep it set to Microsoft Edge, but we just need to click on SWITCH ANYWAY, and then close the window.
