How do I change my default browser to Edge?

You can change your default browser to Microsoft Edge through your operating system's settings. Here's how:

Changing the Default Browser to Edge

The steps to change your default browser depend on your operating system. Below are instructions for Windows.

Windows

1. Open Default Apps Settings:

   • Click the Windows "Start" button.
   • Type "Default apps" and press Enter.

2. Set Defaults by App:

   • In the Default apps window, scroll down and find "Set defaults for applications".
   • Click on "Set defaults for applications".
   • Select "Microsoft Edge" from the list of applications.
   • Click "Manage".

3. Set File Type Associations (Recommended):

   • Review the list of file types and link types (like .html, .pdf, HTTP, and HTTPS).
   • For each file type and link type you want Edge to handle, click on the current default app.
   • Choose "Microsoft Edge" from the list of available apps.

4. Alternatively, Set a Single Default:

   • In Default apps, under "Choose defaults by app", select "Microsoft Edge".
   • Next to "Make Microsoft Edge your default browser", select "Set default".

This method is the recommended approach, as it provides granular control over which file types and link types are opened with Edge.

By following these steps, you'll successfully change your default browser to Microsoft Edge.
