Saving Bookmarks in Google Chrome
Overview
There are two ways to save and upload your Chrome bookmarks to a new computer or computer profile. Using the first one explained you will need a Google account. Syncing Chrome to your Google account saves your bookmarks, history, passwords and other settings securely across all devices. The second solution allows you to save your bookmarks to a file and upload them to Chrome using the file.
If you did not save the file directly to a flash drive remember to locate the file in file explorer and save the file to an external drive so you can access it to load your settings into Chrome. Open Chrome and select the menu that looks like 3 vertical dots located in the top right corner. Then select Settings. Select Import bookmarks and settings. In the drop down menu select Bookmarks HTML File and select Import. Locate the file on your flash drive or other external drive and select Open. Select Done. Your bookmarks should now be available in Chrome. Syncing Chrome to Your Google Account
Chrome will now sync your bookmarks to your Google account. When you log into Chrome on another computer or profile Chrome will import all of your settings. Exporting Your Bookmarks to an HTML File
