The post provides a guide on how to download, install, and use Google Chrome on Windows 11, as well as setting it as the default browser. Although Microsoft Edge comes pre-installed on Windows 11, users preferring Google Chrome on other devices can easily transition their browser preferences and stored data over to Windows 11.

This post shows students and new users steps to download, install, and use the Google Chrome web browser on Windows 11. This post will also include a link to make Google Chrome the default browser on Windows 11 once installed.

As you know, the Microsoft Edge web browser comes pre-installed on Windows 11.

However, if Google Chrome is your preferred web browser and you use it on other devices, you can easily install it on Windows 11. With Chrome installed, you can sign in and bring Chrome browser preferences and other stored data to Windows 11.
