6. Click “Link Data” on the pop up "Turn on Sync"

You are now logged into both Chrome and Google. The images for the profile and account should match.

If the images do not match, you may not be logged into your school Google Account. This would prevent you from being able to access or log in to your school accounts.

You can click on the incorrect profile and change it. Simply choose the person or profile you want to switch to. That will enable you to access your school resources.
