Sorry you can only install it on a full Windows or Mac computer, not a Chromebook.  You can use the Online version.  You would have to get a refund for the Desktop CD/Download program and pay for online separately.

What do you mean you  meant to download "chrome HP"?    Do you have a Chromebook?   The CD/download can only be used on a full PC or Mac.  It cannot be used on a Chromebook or any other sort of mobile device.

 

If you do not have a full PC or Mac and cannot borrow one from a friend or family member----
