- How to upgrade from Windows 10 Home to Pro for free | ZDNet
Type ie in Cortana search or when using the edge browser, click the elipsis go down to open in internet explorer. Can you get the metro version of internet explorer back? Edge sucks when youre using touch. I actually run two full screen metro IE for watching two games at the same time.
Full screen browsing Especially in Snap mode was a dream back on 8. I miss it terribly. I don't think Microsoft even considered this Metro version. I think they were only concerned with users with Windows 7.
Since most Windows 7 users didn't have touch screens then they wouldn't know what they were missing. To me the Metro version of IE is the best version they have. That's why I don't plan on updating any of my Windows 8. I will my W7 computer I like 8. Especially the Start Screen. I don't want to feel like I'm going backwards. The Start Screen is new and innovative. If you upgrade, you'll love it. I disagree. The Metro IE was much better for all but a couple of things.
I hate what Windows 10 has done to navigation and mouse use. Agree, hopefully they'll update Edge when Win 10 mobile arrives, maybe they're working on a touch metro version that will come alongside the mobile launch. Well, being a better if slower browser experience than Edge 1.
I would say most people will need this tip. My wife still uses IE because of lastpass. Edge works fine for me in tablet mode - what is the problem that people wnat metro IE back for? Metro IE was still far better optimized for touch. Edge definitely does a better job than desktop Internet Explorer, but the Metro version found in 8.
Less trying to hit tiny buttons that were designed for mouse. It let you focus on the website content. Now there's no option to hide the browser bar in Edge That I'm aware of. This is a problem with Windows 10 in general, but many touch and swipe gestures that previously existed in 8. That's fine, but I feel that Edge in tablet mode still tries to compel me to use a mouse instead of touching the web.
I'm still reeling from the lack of easily swiping forward and backward on webpages, I have to go all the way to the top left of the screen for that now, instead of simply doing it anywhere on screen. It was excellent, especially since it could be enabled or disabled at a per-site level, giving you decently granular control over a feature that was mostly transparent and you didn't even notice.
It was beautifully integrated. That and besides, I've never really like third-party ad-blockers on Chrome, which is why I appreciated how it was built in on IE. Those are most of my grievances with Edge on Windows 10 at the moment. I'm sure there's one or two more that I can't remember right now, but those are the main things I miss from Metro IE, which was actually my main browser back on 8.
I ditto on this observation. I roll back from win10 to win8. I hope for a tweak of IE on win10 to re-enable modern metro UI.
I have it on an i7 computer that was running Windows 8. Edge--like Windows 10 itself--is horrible on both. Open RUN box and simply enter iexplore. Thanks for sharing. People who need compatibility with older websites and people not satisfied with Edge as-is.
I'm not arguing with you, I'm just asking can't the MS Edge support theese older web sites? I'll give you an example. On the launch day, my bank didn't support the browser so I had to log in to my account trough Explorer. Bit a few days later, my bank supported the browser.
Some websites need time to support the new brower. For now, I very rarely use Internet Explorer. While compatibility and moving onwards, not being stuck in the past is great: Considering several Enterprises and some military groups are paying Microsoft literally millions of dollars to maintain security support for XP: I wouldn't expect it anytime soon.
As such, people on Windows 10 who still need to access cooperate websites that are optimized for IE are still going to want to using it and all of its glorious backwards-compatible junk. People like ME who prefer the faster performance and stability of IE over the piece of garbage that Edge is. People like ME who are staying on Windows 8. Does that answer your question? People fed up with bugs, lags, drag and drop not supported, sites not reacting like twitter.
Edge is a really bad experience for me, as many changes in Windows 10 on my SP3. I trusted insiders, I realize now that so many things were screwed up on the touch side that I'm really planning to roll back to 8. Thank you all very much, guys :. Many Microsoft services sites don't work properly or at all with edge.
Not aware? Heck, there are Microsoft enterprise sites that redirect me to IE so there's no avoiding it! Chrome is like a vampire, it'll suck the life out of your machine! Or while using edge in the options sections you can open the page using Internet Explorer and then from there add it to your task bar Posted via the Windows Central App for Android.
I actually still use IE time to time. Not to mention, I'm still mainly Firefox user simply because extensions hasn't arrived yet and it's still got more features that I'm looking forward for Edge to have, not all but most essentials and useful ones. Thumbnail on tabs not native on Firefox but only with extenstions , Tab Groups, Easy to switch between search engines, better Developer Tools, Progressbar not native, only with extensions , multiple taskbar thumbnail support, and Jumplist support.
IE is my default browser in W The Edge Hey Richard can you give us a link to download that Windows background with the unicorn you used in the article please? I love it! Yes please. Want background. This seems to happen literally every article. The Windows Central team should design a bot that automatically grabs their current desktop background, uploads it to OneDrive, and makes a public link so they can easily share it with the masses.
The link would be posted at the end of every article, save them some strife, haha. Do a search, there was a post about the background a couple weeks ago. Yes I want it too! The link on the link I provided to download it is dead :. Check out my Twitter rwmutton i retweeted it. I found it in all apps under windows accessories. I thought they weren't including it in the home version, but I'm glad I stumbled across it when trying to play battlefield.
Edge still has a way to go. I do get the occasional freeze up and need the battlelog plugin. Hope they get it all sorted pretty soon though, Be nice just to be able to use Edge. I'm less than thrilled with Edge. The inability to use extensions is huge, and not having the Menu Bar is a noticable drawback for me. I like how some people want to believe Edge is amazing, but that browser is Beta-level at best at this point. Internet Explorer performs better when scrolling through pages no Lockups while the page is loading content , still loads practically instantaneously, and works on a lot of site that Edge simply doesn't work on especially some sites that use Drag and Drop will work in IE11 but not Edge for some reason.
The lock up thing is very annoying. Internet Explorer it's fast and smooth I can't say the same about Firefox nd Chrome. Edge just need a lot to work to.
Very good tip. Didn't even know they still make IE in Win I still need it since Edge is lacking too many required features to be used as a primary browser. Till Edge supports plugins then I need it for password management. Turned off Internet Explorer using Windows features. We still need ie for some legacy sites The one big thing I miss from Internet Explorer is TrackingProtection list, which acted as both a built-in ad block in addition to keeping companies from stalking me online I've since disabled ads on Edge And Windows 10 apps, for that matter by doing the trick where you edit the Hosts files.
However, that's an all-or-nothing type deal, it blocks all ads, everywhere without discrimination. That means I can't make exceptions for websites like Mobile Nations, whom I want to support. Likewise, it disables ads in apps, which means I also can't support developers and their endeavors. Also, in addition to the above questionable morality of it: There's the simple fact that editing hosts files is FAR less obvious and straightforward than simply adding a couple TrackingProtection lists built right into the browser.
So the hosts file trick will hold me over for now, but I'd still really like to see the return of TrackingProtection lists in the next big Windows 10 update, supposedly due in October. Just click Send Do Not Track requests. I need it for the Garmin Navigator plugin so I can upload my cycle rides to dailymile.
The plugin used to work in Chrome my browser of choice but now only supports IE. I have years of rides on the dailymile site and would be lost without it. Hey fellow dailymiler! Hey there! Love the site. Started cyling just a few years ago and have recorded every ride. Appartently I've cycled half way round the world, lol. I want that too. Since none of my favorites bookmarks showed up in Edge I instantly had to find Explorer. I still need IE for a lot of things, especially since saved password didn't seem to carry over from IE.
Yes I found out later you could import but that should have been taken care of. And I hate how inprivate opens up in a whole new desktop window. And the total lack of gestures sucks, swipe back was awesome. I want a bookmark all open tabs feature. I rely on that, because I'm a compulsive tab opener lol. And also, when I click the bookmark button the edit bookmark menu shows the wrong name previous tab and I have to wait several seconds for it to update to the correct tab name so I can click save.
How to get it back? You have to roll back to Windows 8. You have that option for 30 days only. Be careful, though, you will lose your saved game data in Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition, should you ever re-upgrade to Windows Or you can do what most people in the world will do, that is download and install Chrome or Firefox. Currently Edge is still in beta and Internet Explorer is just a terrible web browser. Most people use IE, actually. Firefox is way past it's prime and Chrome is probably the worst browser I've ever used: resource hogging, atrocious AI, Google Spyware, with the creepiest logo ever.
No gracias. People use Firefox? Lol what? Most people use IE. Edge is a work in progress. I use IE more often than not. I still use IE. Edge locks up to much for me. Even on fresh install. Edge is screwed up for now. Lol This is funny, this guide to find internet explorer is so crazy, I couldn't have figured out how to look for it. I still appreciate the effort, I know many didn't know how to do it. Greetings, Daniel, I like your posts. This, so much this tbh. I want ie in windows 10 mobile Its under windows accessories.

A small number of readers have reported that the upgrade fails because of a Setup error or a compatibility block. For details on how to troubleshoot these errors, see "This free Windows 10 upgrade offer still works. Here's why - and how to get it. Whether you're looking for a tablet to stream videos or to replace your laptop, here are some compelling options.
Before getting started, I recommend a few preliminary tasks that can head off potential problems:. With those preliminaries out of the way, go to the Download Windows 10 webpage and click the Download tool now button. After the download completes, double-click the executable file to run the Media Creation Tool.
That option installs the most recent version of Windows It typically takes about an hour, depending on your hardware. Having an SSD as your system drive is the best way to speed up the process. If you know you'll want to upgrade to Windows 10 on more than one PC, or if you just want more flexibility in the event that the instant upgrade fails, choose the second option and save the installation files to a USB drive or as an ISO file.
The download takes a little time but when it's complete, you can run the Windows Setup program manually to install Windows 10 on any PC running any supported Windows version sorry, this won't work with PCs running Windows Vista or Windows XP.
The exact steps depend on which download option you chose:. Then just follow the prompts to complete the upgrade to Windows All your apps and data files will be available.
The digital license is associated with that specific device, which means you can reformat the disk and perform a clean installation of the same edition of Windows 10 anytime. If you're thinking of upgrading your old system drive to an SSD, perform the upgrade to Windows 10 on the old hardware; after confirming that the new Windows 10 version is properly activated, install the SSD and then either restore from a backup image or boot from the USB flash drive to do a clean install.
You won't need a product key, and activation is automatic. And now the big question: If you avail yourself of this upgrade to Windows 10, is the resulting license valid? The entire "free upgrade" offer was always accompanied by language that was, to put it politely, a bit squishy.
And the language around the end of that offer was similarly vague. That's very odd language. The free upgrade through the Get Windows 10 app ended on July 29,
