Expired certificates on Win7 - is there an easier, permanent fix?

    So I recently had to reinstall Win7 on some of my old relatives' old computers.

    However, after reinstalling, browsing the web with Chrome (or any Chromium based browser) is a nightmare due to expired SSL certificates or something like that. I was able to update one of them (pain in the ass) manually but it still doesn't fix it for every website in the world as some websites use different certificates. Really annoying.

    However, using Firefox seems to have absolutely no issues at all, so my current fix is to uninstall Chrome and make them use Firefox. Hopefully they don't see the difference. :p:p:p

    Just wondering if anyone has better ways to fix this?

    Thanks for these, as I am currently having certificate problems installing some legacy software... hopefully this will fix it!
