ABOUT CHECKING TO SEE WHAT VERSION OF CHROME YOU HAVE INSTALLED AND HOW TO UPGRADE.

TO MY SURPRISE MY 64 BIT WIN 7 PRO WAS STILL USING A 32 BIT VERSION OF CHROME WHICH

IS SLOWER, LESS SECURE,  ECETERA:

Thanks for that heads up.  I found I was running the 32 bit version as well, so I immediately upgraded.  That also spurred me to add the Chrome browser to my iPhone.  I think it is faster than Safari, although Safari was pretty efficient already.  It's nice to have both, giving me choices.

I also appreciate the information and will upgrade to the 64-bit version today.  In about three minutes, in fact.

Thanks for this information.  I just upgraded to the 64 bit version and it is faster.

I tried downloading the versions that had 64 bit after the name; and my current version does NOT.  But, it tells me it cannot download the same version I already have!

Thank you for the "heads up", also needed to upgrade!

Same thing happened to me, Lion.  But I usually use FIreFox, so no biggie.

Firefox has a 64 bit version, too.

Hey, Gail.  I tried again today.  Same messages.  But, I closed everything and was going to try downloading via IE when I noticed I have a Chrome Setup on my desktop.  Clicked and it installed.  I'm in the 64-bit now!  I think it's faster.
