Microsoft is planning to deliver the new Edge browser to Windows 10 consumer users automatically via the Windows Update service, and it'll replace the legacy EdgeHTML-based version. It's also possible to migrate some features from Google's Chrome browser over to the new Edge browser, as described in this support document. The new Edge browser will inherit the legacy Edge browser's ' favorites, passwords, form fill information and basic settings' automatically, according to Belfiore. There's a 'Troubleshooting Tips' article to address problems. It has a toggle button that permits downloads for Windows 10, Windows 8/8.1 and Windows 7 systems, as well as downloads for Android and iOS systems. 14.Īnyone can download and manually install the new Edge browser from this page.

Microsoft had previously indicated that the new Edge browser will run on Windows 7 systems, even though that OS fell out of support on Jan. The new Edge browser is currently available for 'all supported versions of Windows and macOS in more than 90 languages' and also is available for use on Android and iOS systems, according to Joe Belfiore, Microsoft's corporate vice president of Windows.
