How to enable Flash in Windows XP5.1?

Adobe says Flash is pre installed, but there is no sign of it in extensions, so I can't enable it. Using Chromium Version 46.0.2480.0 Any advice is appreciated. Thank you.

    Hi,


    What is Windows XP5.1?  there is no such version.

    Flash Player is a browser plugin, not an extension, so it won't be listed in extensions.  Go to chrome://plugins to enable it.


    Note that Google embeds Flash Player in Chrome and all updates are released by Google.  Google no longer supports Chrome on Windows XP and therefore, you won't receive Flash Player updates for Chrome on Windows XP.

    Right. But under plugins I only see Chromium PDF Viewer and Native Client.Maybe that version refers to it being Windows Professional.Thank you Maria.Tony
