Microsoft begins pushing the

‘new’ Microsoft Edge browser

to all Windows 10 PCs

While the new Chromium-based Edge is superior to the older version, it’s

M

icrosoft has begun rolling out

the “new” Microsoft Edge to

Windows 10 PCs, as part of

its planned replacement

strategy outlined earlier this year.

Microsoft began updating PCs to the new

Edge (go.pcworld.com/edjn) in January. It

began with PCs still running the April 2018

Update, also known as version 1803. Now,

the new Microsoft Edge is being made

available to the Windows 10 versions after

1803, up through the Windows 10 May 2020

Update (go.pcworld.com/10mu), aka version

2004.
