The entire installation process takes less than a minute to complete. Figure 2: The download process only takes a few seconds. Once the download completes, you will see a warning message telling you to finish anything that you might be doing within open browser tabs.

This launches the installer shown in Figure 1 below.

It's essentially just a matter of accepting the license agreement and clicking Run. Figure 1: Edge is available for a variety of platforms.ĭownloading and installing the browser is a simple process. Interestingly, Microsoft also makes Edge available for MacOS, iOS, Android and legacy versions of Windows dating all the way back to Windows 7 (which is no longer supported by Microsoft). When you click on the download link above, you are taken to a page that prominently displays the new Edge icon and that features a button that you can use to download Edge for Windows 10. If Edge is currently your preferred browser, then it is a good idea to back up your PC before installing the new Edge browser in case you have problems or, for whatever reason, want to revert back to the previous browser. Before you install it, though, it is important to note that the new browser completely replaces the previous version of Edge. Microsoft makes the new Edge browser available for download here. Now that the finished browser is publicly available, I wanted to revisit the topic by showing you where to get the new Chromium-based Edge browser and how to deploy it.

Last year, I took a prerelease version of the new browser for a test drive and explained how you could try it out for yourself. Unlike the browser that ships with Windows 10 today, the new browser is based on Chromium (of Google Chrome fame). Microsoft released the new version of its Edge browser last month after working on it for well over a year.
