    How will I be able to update Google Chrome when Windows Vista is no longer supported?
    Community Answer
    You will not be able to update it on Vista or older. But there is a way! Go to any other computer that has Windows 7 or higher and download it (you should get a file named "ChromeSetup.exe"). Get that file to the computer with Vista (USB stick or any other way). Run it on the Vista system and it should work. I installed it on XP using this method.

    No, your original browser will still be available. As long as you have enough storage space on your device, you can download as many apps as you wish, without anything being deleted or overwritten.

    Restart your computer. Go to chrome.google.com. Download the installer (you should get a file named "ChromeSetup.exe). Uninstall chrome. When the uninstall is done, run the file ChromeSetup.exe that your downloaded. That should do the trick.

    Apple tells me my Mac is obsolete and cannot update Chrome. What is the harm in not updating Chrome?
    Community Answer
    The risk of not updating Chrome is roughly the same risk as operating an obsolete Mac: your browsing is more vulnerable to malware, intruders, and other unwanted attacks. If possible, update your Mac to the latest operating system. If this is not possible, you'll need to upgrade to a newer Mac before you can update Chrome.

    How do I get rid of a yellow band on screen telling me that I will no longer receive Google Chrome updates?
    Community Answer
    You can't. It's a warning. It means that if you remove Chrome, you will never be able to install it from chrome.com.

    Go to chrome.google.com. Download the file (you should get a downloaded file named "chromeSetup.exe"). Uninstall chrome (Win: add or remove programs). Once the uninstall is complete, reinstall it by opening the file "ChromeSetup.exe" in your Downloads folder.

    I have the same problem. In my case, there was not enough storage space on my phone. Try deleting apps and files you don't need.
