Does anyone know how to update the Chrome browser?

My new Chromebook came with an out-of-date Chrome browser.When I tried to access my gmail, I had a message saying my browser was out-of-date with an update link. But the update link went to a Linux version of Chrome. 

 

Google searches are fruitless. I'm only finding update links for other operating systems.  I did find a video, but it only said updating is "easy".   LOL  I disagree. 

 

I've just spent the better part of an hour looking for a way to update my Chrome browser so I can get to my gmail.

    You can also check for updates if you want to install them sooner:

    1. Click the status area in the lower-right corner where your account picture appears.
    2. Select Settings.
    3. At the top of the page that opens, click About Chrome OS.
    4. In the “About” window that appears, click the Check for and apply updates button.
