When I got the opportunity to join the IE7 team, I leapt on it, and have been a part of the Microsoft browser journey in some form ever since. Internet Explorer\u2019s reputation today is, deservedly, one of a product from an older era\u2014quirky in behavior and lacking the security of a modern browser. But its contributions to the evolution of the web have been remarkable, from helping to make the web truly interactive with DHTML and AJAX to hardware-accelerated graphics to innovations in touch\/pen browsing. Working on the retirement of Internet Explorer has been a constant reminder of its importance; every day we work with customers who have built their businesses on Internet Explorer. To work on a product with such broad impact has been nothing but humbling\u2014our story in many ways is the story of the internet and what it has allowed people and organizations around the world to do.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Microsoft Edge | The Future of IE is in Microsoft Edge\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FltYI3fwigQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>But the web has evolved and so have browsers. Incremental improvements to Internet Explorer couldn\u2019t match the general improvements to the web at large, so we started fresh. Microsoft Edge is a faster, more secure and modern browser\u2014the best browser for Windows\u2014designed for today\u2019s internet. But we haven\u2019t forgotten that some parts of the web still rely on Internet Explorer\u2019s specific behaviors and features, which is why Microsoft Edge comes with Internet Explorer mode (IE mode). Regardless of the site or standard\u2014old or new\u2014you can access what you need in Microsoft Edge with new modern features to make your time online even better.<\/p>\n<h2>So, what happens now for everyday users?<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-177365 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.windows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/prod\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/Example-IE-to-Edge-Redirection-Message.png\" alt=\"Example IE to Edge redirection message\" width=\"676\" height=\"630\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>Example message informing users they are being redirected to Microsoft Edge<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Over the next few months, opening Internet Explorer will progressively redirect users to our new modern browser, Microsoft Edge with IE mode. Users will still see the Internet Explorer icon on their devices (such as on the taskbar or in the Start menu) but if they click to open Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge will open instead with easy access to IE mode. Eventually, Internet Explorer will be disabled permanently as part of a future Windows Update, at which point the Internet Explorer icons on users\u2019 devices will be removed.<\/p>\n<p>As part of this redirection process, users will have their data like favorites, passwords and settings imported from Internet Explorer\u2014this will help make the transition to Microsoft Edge both familiar and simple. If a user wants to delete or manage their data at any point after, they can always do so in Microsoft Edge from the Settings menu.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Microsoft Edge | How to import data in Microsoft Edge\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XEXHQTSHblg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Some websites only work with Internet Explorer\u2014these websites might be built on older internet technology and not function properly while using a modern browser. Understanding this, we\u2019ve built Microsoft Edge with IE mode.<\/p>\n<p>To help users get started with IE mode, the redirection process will add a \u201cReload in IE mode\u201d button (see below) to their toolbar in Microsoft Edge. That way, if they encounter a website that may not work correctly\u2014or if they visit a website that asks them to open the site using Internet Explorer\u2014they can easily click the button to open the page in IE mode. Microsoft Edge will even ask them if they\u2019d like the page to open in IE mode next time automatically! Microsoft Edge will check in with the user every 30 days to make sure they still need IE mode for the site. As more and more sites get updated to modern standards, users will need to use IE mode less and the modern rendering engine more.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-177367 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.windows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/prod\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/MicrosoftTeams-imagemd-300x300.png\" alt=\"Reload in IE mode button in the Microsoft Edge toolbar\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>Reload in IE mode button in the Microsoft Edge toolbar<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Check out the video below on how to use the button or <a href=\"https:\/\/go.microsoft.com\/fwlink\/?linkid=2197810\">learn more here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/youtube.com\/watch?v=XECwMHeanU0<\/p>\n<h2>Businesses can automate IE mode for their users<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re an IT professional and your organization uses older, legacy sites as part of your normal business processes, you can easily automate IE mode so that those pages launch in IE mode automatically for your users.<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s retirement covers all currently supported versions of Windows 10 Home, Pro, Enterprise, Edu and IoT (Internet Explorer is already removed from Windows 11). Internet Explorer will not be immediately removed on all these versions today but will be progressively redirected to Microsoft Edge on all these devices over the next few months (just like for everyday users) to give our customers time to find any sites they potentially missed and complete their transition. After this redirection phase, Internet Explorer will be permanently disabled on devices via a future Windows Update.<\/p>\n<p>For certain versions of Windows currently in-support and used in critical environments, we will continue to support Internet Explorer on those versions until they go out of support. These include all currently in-support Windows 10 LTSC releases (including IoT) and all Windows Server versions, as well as Windows 10 China Government Edition, Windows 8.1, and Windows 7 with Extended Security Updates (ESUs). Future versions of these editions will not include Internet Explorer. Developers who rely on the underlying MSHTML (Trident) platform and COM controls on Windows will also continue to be supported on all Windows platforms.<\/p>\n<p>And of course, we have committed to supporting IE mode in Microsoft Edge through at least 2029.<\/p>\n<p>As a business, you can set up IE mode to use a site list, where you can catalog those sites that require Internet Explorer and have them load automatically in IE mode. You can store this site list locally, or in the <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/deployedge\/edge-ie-mode-cloud-site-list-mgmt\">cloud through the Microsoft 365 admin center<\/a>, and any site on the list will load for your users in IE mode. This is the recommended approach if you\u2019re a business that manages your devices and has legacy requirements.<\/p>\n<p>We have help along the way if you experience compatibility issues when testing your websites in IE mode.
