Contrary to the belief that Okay Google cannot be installed on a computer, it is quite possible to install it on your home PC or laptop.
Moreover, this service can be used both from a regular tablet and from any other device where you can install a browser Google Chrome.
Let's look at how to make it so that you can use Okay Google on a PC.
Installation Okay Google
If everything is extremely simple with installation on a phone with the Android platform - in Google Play you need to press the appropriate button - it’s even easier on a computer!
However, again, you need the Google Chrome browser for this.
If you don't have the Google Chrome browser, you need to download it. You can do this for free on the page google.ru/chrome/browser/desktop/.
There is only one button you need to click on – “Download Chrome”. Click.
After this, you should open the downloaded file.
IN Opera browser, for example, the easiest way to do this is to click on the downloads icon (highlighted in the figure green), find the file associated with Chrome (highlighted in red) and do double click on it.
You can also do this by simply opening your downloads folder.
A small note: Once you click on the “Download Chrome” button, a window will appear as shown in the image below.
There you can check or uncheck the box highlighted in red.
The item “Set Google Chrome as the default browser” will mean that this browser will become the main browser, that is, all links will be opened through it and all accounts will be recorded there.
If you mainly use another program for Internet surfing, it is better to uncheck this box.
The second item “Allow automatic sending of statistics...” means that all your data (sometimes passwords) will be sent to Google specialists.
If you don't want your personal information to be shared with Google employees, it's best to leave this box unchecked.
This is interesting: VWindows10 uses technology that allows employeesMicrosoft know everything about a particular user - his passwords, personal data, notes, browser history and much more. This was one of the reasons for its low popularityWindows10 on the market. As we see, in almost all modern popular services, the user can give administrators the opportunity to freely use his personal data, sometimes without knowing it, as in the case ofWindows10. But during installationGoogle Chromethis can be avoided.
After this, the browser will be installed.
