Two days ago I installed Windows 10 on my Toshiba laptop Installation went well. As I did an upgrade from Windows 7 I had a lot of surplus programmes many that were not required by Windows 10.

I have accidently I deleted “Google Chrome” as it had a very old installation date. I has completely deleted the Windows 10 version now and obviously need to re-install it. How do I do this please. It no longer seems to be an option.

Hi

The whole install process should not take longer then a few minutes if you have a good internet connection.

Google Chrome is not part of the Windows installation but it's the browser that I and many other people use instead of Windows Explorer.

If you wan't to get Chrome back, go to this web page and try it again.

Chrome Browser

Hang around while it's installing, I think that it will ask you some questions during the process, and let it complete without interrupting it.

Mike, thanks again, I did check earlier today and it seems that Windows must have self-activated during the installation. Now the good news, I have Norton installed on all my computers inc the Toshiba Laptop and I have just used this to do a through check of my Toshiba Win 10 installation. I also checked that the Microsoft security is switched off. (as advised). And much to my surprise everything seems to be operating normally, so not having to do a full install will save me many hours of reinstallation of my programmes etc. It's recovered all my email accounts & the emails from MS Office "Outlook" and other programmes such as Photoshop/Bridge/Word/Excell etc - all working fine. I even had another attempt to install Google Chrome and within 25min that was installed and running fine. What a journey!

I still have to set-up " Cloud", I don't know if I am only allowed one cloud account for all devices to share or I can have one for each computer. I currently have one Cloud account and it's shared by my Windows Phone (Nokia) and one of my PC's. Not sure if the Windows 10 Toshiba Notebook will sync with these or not. The same applies to my Outlook "Calendar".
I think I will have an evening away from computers, and start again tomorrow.
Thanks Mike and to all those you have contributed to this forum.
