How To Install Internet Explorer In Windows 10

It’s been about eight years since the launch of the Microsoft Edge browser. It’s a known fact that the Edge browser was developed to replace the aging Internet Explorer.

Currently, the Microsoft Edge browser is based on the Chromium project, which is the base for the Google Chrome browser as well. A significant percentage of Windows 10 and 11 users now use Edge instead of Internet Explorer.

That said, some users might want to use the Internet Explorer browser for websites that do not work well with modern web browsers like Edge and Chrome.

Fortunately, Internet Explorer can be installed in Windows 10 without much effort. Internet Explorer is being offered as an optional feature. So we can install it.

While you can install the Internet Explorer browser in Windows 10, we do not recommend using it as it’s outdated. Instead, we recommend the latest version of Edge or the newest version of Chrome browser for better security.

Anyways, this guide shows you how to install Internet Explorer in Windows 10.

Steps to install Internet Explorer in Windows 10

Step 1: Open the Settings app. Go to Apps > Apps & features page.

Step 2: In the Apps & features section, click on the Optional features link.

Step 3: Next, click the Add a feature button.

Step 5: To install Internet Explorer, select the check box next to its entry and then click the Install button.

Once installed, you may launch Internet Explorer using search and start using it. Once again, we recommend modern browsers like Edge and Chrome over the dated Internet Explorer.
