Microsoft announced today the end of support for the classic Edge Legacy browser (in the Russian-language documentation – old or outdated Microsoft Edge).

While Microsoft Edge on the proprietary EdgeHTML engine is included in the Windows 10 operating system. Thus, “bundled” with Windows 10, the user gets three preinstalled browsers at once – Internet Explorer, the old Edge and the new Edge.
Back in the day, Microsoft Edge became the moral successor to Internet Explorer, making it the default browser in Windows 10. In January 2020, the release of the new Microsoft Edge based on the Chromium engine took place.
Today, March 9, 2021, the old Microsoft Edge received the latest update and there will be no updates for it afterwards.
In April 2021, the company will release a planned “Tuesday update” for Windows 10 that will remove Microsoft Edge Legacy from the system and install the new Chromium-powered Microsoft Edge if it’s not already present on PCs. The process of removing and replacing will happen automatically, whether the user wants it or not.
The update will be released for the following versions:
- Windows 10 version 1803 (April 2018)
- Windows 10 version 1809 (October 2018)
- Windows 10 version 1903, (May 2019)
- Windows 10 version 1909 (October 2019)
- Windows 10 version 2004 (May 2020)
- Windows 10 version 20H2 (October 2020)
