Google chrome update?

When I open chrome I get "This computer will no longer receive Google Chrome updates because this Linux system is no longer supported. Is there a way to manually update Chrome?

Please post a short specification of your hardware and current Chrome version used. Google Chrome defines a minimal hardware requirements, in such situation there is unfortunately no way to upgrade Chrome.

I am using the motherboard from an ancient Emachine tower with 2 gigs of DDR2 ram. I'm pretty sure you answered my question.

Most probably you have 32bit Q4OS installed, the last supported 32bit Chrome version was 49. We can recommend you to use Chromium as a replacement. The easiest way is to install Chromium from Q4OS software centre.
