If you download Google Chrome from places other than its official website, you might download the wrong version, with bundled extras which you might not want. For example, you may have Windows 10 on 64-bit and install Chrome on 32-bit. Also, you may use an older version of Windows like Windows XP or Windows Vista, and you want a Google Chrome version that still works on that operating system. If you want to download a specific version of Chrome, read this tutorial:

Download Chrome 64-bit
If you need to download Google Chrome 64-bit, it is best that you go to its official website. There, click or tap the Download Chrome button.
The Google Chrome website
A prompt is shown, with details about what you are about to download. First, look for the entry that tells you for what operating system Chrome is going to be downloaded:
The 64-bit version of Google Chrome
If Google recommends that you download the 64-bit version, it is all good: this is the version you want. Check whether you want to send usage statistics and crash reports to Google automatically, and press "Accept and Install." Then, you get to download a ChromeSetup.exe file, which you need to run, to install Google Chrome 64-bit.
Downloading Google Chrome
If Google recommends that you download the 32-bit version, but you want the 64-bit version, it is unfortunate, but you cannot install it on your PC or device. Why is that, you may wonder? The answer is that 32-bit operating systems cannot run 64-bit apps. Only the opposite is true. However, that does not mean that you cannot download the installer for the 64-bit version of Google Chrome. Who knows: maybe you want to install it on another PC.
If Google recommends the 32-bit version, but you want the 64-bit version, close this prompt and scroll down to the footer. There, in the Chrome Family section, click or tap "Other Platforms."
