Hello YayaFino,

RT devices can only download Windows updates and apps from the Store. I would suggest you try the Google search app from the Store, it has Google search and 14 other Google apps built in (Gmail, YouTube, Maps, Calendar and many more).

Hi,

Thank you for approaching Microsoft Community for assistance.

I understand that you have issues with downloading Google Chrome.

Google Chrome is available as a desktop application which can be installed only on Windows 8 and Windows 8 Pro Operating Systems.

You will not be able to install it on Windows RT devices.

Refer to the link for more information.

I hope this answered your question. If you have any other issues with Windows, please do post it in Microsoft Community. We would be happy to help you.

    I think it rots that we cannot download Google Chrome on our tablets! Internet Explorer is having security issues and that is all we can get; that is ridiculous... I spent all this money on the tablet and it limits what I want as a browser. You need to correct this. If my security is compromised or anyone elses is there will be a lot of upset customers!!!

    Complain to Google that you want a version of Chrome for RT, then. They're the ones who are refusing to share their toys.

    Microsoft can't force developers to make apps.
