recently changed to windows 10 and now can't find my old explorer browser and a ton of saved favorites

Open start and search for Internet Explorer and you will be able to find Internet Explorer and your favorites.

The default browser for Windows 10 is Microsoft Edge, you could open Favorite in Edge and there is an option to import Favorite from Internet Explorer.

Those are excellent annotated snips/graphics, thanks.

I could not get the Favorites Bar items to copy or import into Edge, so just typed in each website then click the star, then selected the Favorites Bar folder to add the link. Took time but got it done.

Thanks.
