in 1Password 4 for Windows

I am using chrome on windows 10pro. I am using the web based 1password program. I downloaded the 1password extension for chrome and it gives me an error that the 1 password helper is not working. I read that it may because I have not installed the 1password app on my computer. IF this is true, how do I install the app and associate it with my existing account. It does not seem to be allowing me to do this. when I say that I am not new to 1password it tells me I need to have some sort of vault that I don't have. when i say that i am new to 1 password it makes me sign up with a new master passwork. I am so confused. Not a tech a guy

    Hello @rmcgarvey,

    Thanks for taking time to contact us! We are always happy to help.

    Is it possible that you have two versions of 1Password for Windows installed at the moment, 1Password 4 and 1Password 6? If you are planning to use your 1Password account, please uninstall 1Password 4. Here is how:

    1) On the Start menu, select Settings.
    2) Select System > Apps & features.
    3) Find 1Password 4 there and then select Uninstall.

    1Password extension should connect to 1Password 6 after that. Please let me know how it goes. Thanks in advance!

    Cheers,
    Greg
