Taking over where Internet Explorer (IE) left off, Microsoft Edge is the browser created for Windows 10. Following more than 20 years or so of IE being part of Windows operating systems, this new browser is way more efficient and delightfully compact. Microsoft Edge comes designed for Web services and built to Web standards. Windows 7 users who wish to turn on JavaScript in Microsoft Edge, can do so in just a few easy steps: Start your Microsoft Edge browser. Click on the three-dot icon in the upper right corner of the screen to access the Menu tab. Now, select the “Settings” item on the Menu interface to access the Settings section.

This article describes the supported operating systems that apply to Microsoft Edge.

Note

This article applies to the Microsoft Edge versions 77 and higher for the desktop.

Supported Operating Systems for Microsoft Edge

Note

Product functionality and feature availability may vary on older operating systems. To ensure that Microsoft Edge installs correctly, use the latest version of any operating system specified below. This guidance includes the latest cumulative update, as applicable.

Microsoft Edge follows the Modern Lifecycle Policy and is supported on the following operating systems.

Windows Client

• Windows 7 **
• Windows 8.1
• Windows 10 SAC 1709 and later ***
• Windows 10 Enterprise 2015 LTSC
• Windows 10 Enterprise 2016 LTSC
• Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC
• Windows 10 Enterprise multi-session
• Windows 10 IoT Enterprise SAC ****
• Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2019 LTSC ****

Windows Server

• Windows Server 2008 R2 **
• Windows Server 2012
• Windows Server 2012 R2
• Windows Server 2016 (LTSC)
• Windows Server 2019 (LTSC)
• Windows Server (SAC)

Important

** We will continue to support Microsoft Edge on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 until January 15, 2022. These operating systems are out of support and Microsoft recommends you move to a supported operating system such as Windows 10. While Microsoft Edge helps keep you more secure on the web, your PC may still be vulnerable to security risks. In order for IE mode to be supported on these operating systems the devices will need to have the Extended Security Updates for Windows 7. Without the Windows 7 Extended Security updates Internet Explorer functionality will be vulnerable to security risks. Additionally, IE mode functionality may cease to work without the continued servicing through the extended security updates.

*** In the same fashion as above, for Windows 10 SAC releases that are out of support but Microsoft Edge is supported it is recommended to upgrade to a supported Win10 SAC release as soon as possible to remain secure. Microsoft Edge being supported in this state should be considered a temporary bridge to getting to a supported OS state.

**** The Microsoft Edge OPK is available on MOO for IoT OEMs to preinstall and distribute as part of their Windows 10 IoT Enterprise based solution.

macOS

• Sierra (10.12) and later

The new Microsoft Edge ​ will delete your browsing history, cookies, and site data, as well as passwords, addresses, and form data when you close all InPrivate windows.

You can open an InPrivate window in different ways:

• Right-click the Microsoft Edge logo in the taskbar and select New InPrivate window.

• In Microsoft Edge, right-click a link and select Open link in InPrivate window.

• In Microsoft Edge, select Settings and more > New InPrivate window.

Other people using this device won’t see your browsing activity, but your school, workplace, and internet service provider might still be able to access this data.

What does Microsoft Edge do with your data while InPrivate?

InPrivate browsing does:

• Clear browsing history, download history, cookies and other site data, cached images and files, passwords, autofill form data, site permissions and hosted app data when you close all InPrivate windows.

• Save your favorites and downloaded files, so you can access them next time you use Microsoft Edge.

• Allow you to access favorites, passwords, and form fill data from the profile used to open the InPrivate window.

• Allow extensions you've given permission to run while browsing InPrivate.

• Automatically use InPrivate search with Microsoft Bing for searches in the InPrivate landing page search bar and on Bing.com. If the default search engine is Bing, searching in the address bar will use InPrivate search as well.

Notes:

• Microsoft Edge can’t prevent extensions from saving your browsing history while browsing InPrivate.

• When using the Windows IME keyboard for typing and inking, data may be collected to improve language recognition and suggestion capabilities. To stop inking and typing data from being collected by Microsoft while using the Windows IME keyboard in InPrivate and normal browsing windows, go to Windows Settings > Privacy > Inking & typing personalization.

• Webpages such as edge://settings, edge://favorites, and edge://history can’t be viewed in an InPrivate window. Opening these pages when browsing InPrivate will open them in a normal browsing window.

InPrivate browsing does not:

• Associate your browsing history with a Microsoft account or use this data for product improvement.

• Save new passwords, addresses, and info filled in online forms.

• Allow you to re-open recently closed tabs and windows from Settings and more > History > Recently closed.

Am I safer while browsing InPrivate?

InPrivate browsing doesn’t keep you safer from malicious websites or provide additional ad blocking. Websites can still personalize content for you during your InPrivate browsing session because cookies and other site permissions aren’t deleted until you close all InPrivate windows.

Microsoft Edge Windows 7 Reviews

To help prevent websites from personalizing content and ads for you, switch your level of tracking prevention to Strict in Microsoft Edge or go to Settings and more > Settings > Site permissions > Cookies and site data and turn on Block third-party cookies. This might cause some sites to behave unexpectedly.

When is InPrivate browsing unavailable?
