Hi John. I'm Greg, an installation specialist, 9 year Windows MVP and Independent Advisor, here to help you.
Sure you can install Google Chrome to WIndows and use it alongside any other browsers you want. Download link here: https://www.google.com/chrome/
To set Google or any other search engine in all browsers see here: https://www.howtogeek.com/114176/how-to-easily-...
I would have several browsers on your task bar so there's always one that's best for the task. I use Firefox, Edge and Chrome in that order of preference. It's easy to share bookmarks between all of them in their settings under Import Favorites from another Browser. Set the preferred one as Default in Settings > Apps > Default Apps.
I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes. I will keep working with you until it's resolved.
