Introduction
Google Chrome allows you to back up and sync your browser history, saved passwords, and settings to have a consistent experience across multiple devices.
If you are migrating to a new computer, the IT Department suggests syncing your profile before switching to the new device to decrease downtime or loss of data.
To turn on sync:
On your computer, open Chrome web browser
At the top right, click Profile
Click Turn on sync
Sign in to your Google Account
From the resulting window, click Link Data (not Create New Profile)
You will be asked to turn on sync. Click Yes, I'm In to opt in.
