I have Google Chrome installed with some Bookmarks created:
Close Chrome.
The Google Chrome Bookmarks are saved in the folder:
Default
Located in:
C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data
If you have a Windows.old folder they will instead be in
C:\Windows.old\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data
YourName depends on your user profile and the AppData folder is by default hidden…
On a Windows Installation you are best to get to it by typing in
%AppData%
into the address bar.
This actually takes you one level past it, to the Roaming folder:
Click App Data to take you up a level. Now go to the Local folder instead:
Select Google:
Then Chrome:
Now User Data:
Copy the Default Folder to your External Hard Drive:
If we take a new Windows Installation or another computer and open Chrome we see no Bookmarks (default):
Close Chrome
Rename Default
to Default.old
Paste the folder Default
from your external hard drive.
You now have all your Bookmarks:
