Windows 10: How To Export Your Favorites From Edge To Another Browser

I've been asked this a few times already and have always replied "It can't be done" *Redface

Anyhow, seeing how I didn't follow the instructions in my signature and have found myself corrupting my Windows system while heavily overclocking and stress testing the CPU on a custom water-loop, I have found myself wanting to export them to IE11 so that my MS account stores them for easy retrieval. (I have also just copied the folder to my backup drive too!)

So I wanted to work out how and this is my solution:

• In File Explorer, navigate to your Edge Favorites:
• Code: C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\AC\MicrosoftEdge\User\Default\Favorites\Links[/quote]
• Copy the links (aka favorites) to the folder C:\Users\[USERNAME]\Favorites
• The favorites will now be in IE11 (If IE11 is currently open, you will have to close and re-open for the favorites to appear).
• If you want them to be imported to Chrome, Firefox or wherever, you can now import in the normal way.

So, your technique requires that you manually replicate all of the changes in the Edge favorites back to IE?!?! That might be a viable solution if you only had minimal changes... but what if you have hundreds?

 

How to get favorites to transfer to new win 10

In IE: File | Import & Export | Export To A File and export the favorites to the Desktop and from there, copy to CD or flash. Copy these to the Desktop on the other machine and import them into IE.

In Edge, click on the 3-dots|Settings, and then select Import from another browser and choose Internet Explorer. Now you have your favorites in both browsers.
