Get Chrome for Windows 10 and 11 from Google. The button goes to Google’s official download page, which picks the right build for your PC. The links under it are Google’s full offline installers.
- 64-bit, for most PCs: ChromeStandaloneSetup64.exe
- ARM64, for PCs with an Arm processor: ChromeStandaloneSetupArm64.exe
- 32-bit: ChromeStandaloneSetup.exe
These files come from dl.google.com, Google’s own download server, and always install the current stable release. For MSI files and help choosing a build, see our Chrome for Windows page.
Install Chrome on Windows 10 or 11
- Open the browser you have now (on a new PC that is usually Microsoft Edge) and use the download button above.
- Open the file you downloaded.
- If you see “Do you want to run this file?”, select Run. If you see “Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device?”, select Yes.
- When the install finishes, a Chrome window opens.
These steps follow Google’s help page Download and install Google Chrome, which also lists the current system requirements for Windows.
64-bit, 32-bit or ARM64?
The download button chooses for you. If you use a direct link instead, check your PC first. Microsoft’s guide Find information about your Windows device says to open Settings, select System, then About, and look under Device specifications to see whether Windows is 32-bit or 64-bit. The processor type is listed there too. If your PC has an Arm processor, such as a Snapdragon laptop, use the ARM64 file. Google’s requirements say Chrome on an Arm PC needs Windows 11 or later.
Make Chrome Your Default Browser
Windows sets the default browser in its own Settings. Google’s help page Make Chrome your default browser gives these steps.
Windows 11
- Open Start, then Settings, then Apps, then Default apps.
- Under “Set defaults for applications”, search for Chrome and select Google Chrome.
- At the top, next to “Make Google Chrome your default browser”, click Set default.
Windows 10
- Open Start, then Settings, then Apps, then Default apps.
- Under “Web browser”, click your current browser.
- In the “Choose an app” window, select Google Chrome.
More ways to do this are in our guide to setting Chrome as your default browser.
Bring Your Bookmarks from Edge
Google’s help page Import Chrome bookmarks and settings covers importing from a bookmarks file you exported from your old browser:
- In Chrome, at the top right, select More (the three dots).
- Select Bookmarks and lists, then Import bookmarks and settings.
- Select Choose file, pick the exported file, select Open, then Done.
If Chrome had no bookmarks yet, the imported ones appear on the bookmarks bar. Otherwise they go into a folder called “Other bookmarks”. See also our guide to importing and exporting bookmarks.
If Chrome Won’t Install
Google’s help page Fix issues when you install Chrome suggests these steps:
- Check your connection and check that your PC meets the system requirements.
- Download the installer again and use the new file.
- Use an offline installer. The direct links at the top of this page are complete installers that do not need to download anything else while they run.
- Antivirus software can stop Chrome from installing. Google suggests turning it off, downloading and installing Chrome again, then turning it back on. If Chrome still will not install with it off, Google says to upgrade your antivirus software.
- Error 0x80070070: your system disk (usually C:) is full. Free up space, then download and install again.
- Error 4: a newer version of Chrome is already on the computer.
- Windows in S mode: to install apps that are not in the Microsoft Store you need to switch out of S mode. Google notes that switching is free but cannot be undone.
- Not an administrator? Follow the normal steps. If they fail, ask whoever manages the PC.
