Google works to make Chrome OS one of the more secure operating systems around -- but you still need to keep it updated. Here's how to update your Chromebook.
If you have one of the best Chromebooks and it works properly, chances are it is properly updated. Why? When Chromebooks get internet access they update automatically on a regular basis. However, if you're facing common Chromebook problems, you'll know that making a manual check to get your Chromebook updated is useful. Also, just because technology says it will do something, it doesn't always mean it will.
Step 1) Open the"Settings" menuIn many cases, your Chromebook should update automatically when a new version of the operating system is available. But sometimes this doesn’t work, or you may want to make sure that a particular patch has gone through. In these cases, you can manually update. Here’s how to begin.
Related Step 2) Access"Check for updates" in the About page Step 1: Settings will open its primary menu with information on your network connections. To find out more information on your updates, look at the lower-left corner and select the final option on the left menu that says About Chrome OS. Step 1: Wait for the update to finish downloading. Under Google Chrome OS, you will see the percentage of the update that’s complete. It’s important that your Chromebook doesn’t unexpectedly shut down at this time, so make sure it’s plugged into a power source if necessary.
Troubleshooting failed updatesIf something goes wrong, the system update won’t successfully download and you won’t be able to update. If this happens to you, there are a few things you can try to fix the problem.
