Chrome OS gets major updates every six weeks, with security patches coming more frequently. Updates are usually downloaded and installed automatically in the background, but here’s how to make sure your Chromebook is always running the latest build available.
RELATED: How Often Does Google Update Chrome?
First things first: you’ll get a notification whenever an update has been downloaded and installed, as you’ll need to restart your machine to complete the update process.
In the bottom right, click on the clock to open the system tray and notification panel. If an update is available, there will be a notification at the top of the menu—click “Restart to Update.” Easy peasy.
Make sure you save anything you’re working on before you click to restart your Chromebook. Any unsaved data could potentially be lost when your Chromebook restarts.
If you don’t see this notification, click the Settings cog.
