Or you installed the 32-bit version accidentally because you\u2019re not sure about the difference between the two. But don\u2019t worry, because with Chrome version 58, Google will automatically migrate users to its 64-bit browser.<\/p>\n<p>This version of Chrome delivers improved performance, better memory management, and a more secure experience. However, in order to run it, you will need a compatible computer with a 64-bit processor, at least 4GB of RAM, and a 64-bit version of Windows installed. If your machine does not meet these requirements, then Chrome won\u2019t attempt to migrate.<\/p>\n<p>Google says its 32-bit <span class=\"vm-hook-outer vm-hook-default\"><span class=\"vm-hook\">version<\/span><\/span> of Chrome will continue to be available, so those who need it will still have access to it. If for any reason you don\u2019t want to be migrated to the 64-bit version despite owning a compatible PC, you\u2019ll need to disable Chrome updates, which install automatically by default.<\/p>\n<div class=\"attribution\"><label>SOURCE:<\/label> <a class=\"btn\" href=\"https:\/\/chromereleases.googleblog.com\/2017\/05\/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html\">GOOGLE<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google has confirmed that its latest Chrome upgrade will automatically switch from 32-bit to 64-bit on compatible Windows machines.
