You cannot update an Apple device using a Chrome laptop.


This support page outlines the only method by which an OTA update can be performed:

Update your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – Apple Support


When using a computer, you will need access to either a Windows PC (with iTunes for Windows installed) or a Mac (with iTunes or Finder - as appropriate for the installed version of macOS).
