    ... installing it is merely a prompt to switch to Edge for PDF Reader! *Confused

    I suggest Adobe Reader Touch, it's quite good...

    PDF reader in Windows 10

    Noticed when I opened a pdf file in Windows 10 using the Reader app, there is a highlighted message at the top stating that this app (pdf reader) would no longer be available in Windows 10 starting February 2018 and it suggested to start
    using Microsoft Edge to work with pdf files.

    Is this true and why!!??
