    Internet Explorer, Edge and Favourites.


    I use IE and Edge mainly because some sites do not seem to work well in IE now. I like IE and have a hundred or more favourites saved in folders. I recently imported these to Edge but I have a small problem. If I save a new favourite to IE I then have to repeat the process in Edge. If I accumulate new favourites in IE can I just delete the imported favourites from Edge and re-import the up to date favourites from IE. Will this work or having imported the list once will I not be able to repeat the process? Any thoughts please?

    :)

    Windows 10, Microsoft Edge (Favourites).

    Will the Windows 10 browser (which I believe is called Microsoft Edge) work with "Favourites" as it does now with Internet Explorer, or does Microsoft Edge have a different folder for saving favourites to, and if so will it allow for the transferring of
    my current list of favourites from Internet Explorer.

    Best regards.

  3. How do i transfer Edge Favourites into Internet Explorer?


    Is it possible to transfer Edge Favourites into Internet Explorer?
    Ive backed up my Edge favourites as a HTML file but if I try and import the file into Internet Explorer it only imports half of the favourites. There is a red cross and it says some settings were not imported successfully..favourites. When I check my favourites some of them are there but lots are missing

    Internet Explorer, Edge and Favourites.

    Why isn’t there any favourites? In Microsoft Edge…?


    Colleagues and friends have been asking me where are my favourites form Internet Explorer 11 in Microsoft Edge. What a lot of people don't realise (i.e. the novice n00b is just being rude) Microsoft Edge is a completely new browser, it's not Internet Explorer 12 as some people are getting confused with. It is a completely new browser. More stable much better than Internet Explorer 11. So to answer any questions to any novice Windows 10 users, Microsoft Edge Favourites I have listed below a few simple steps. (important! You have to have favourites present in IE11) If your favourites are in IE11 then just import them from your previous browser to Microsoft Edge. Respectively you can do the same for Google Chrome as well. Although at the moment Firefox does not appear in the list...


    Internet Explorer, Edge and Favourites. [​IMG]


    1. Open Microsoft Edge then click on
      Internet Explorer, Edge and Favourites. [​IMG]
    2. To the right you will see Import favourites
    3. By default Internet Explorer is ticked to be imported
    4. Import your favourites and then click on the Favourites Tab again and you will see your favourites from Internet Explorer

    If your Favourites do not appear just close and reopen Microsoft Edge and then click on
    Internet Explorer, Edge and Favourites. [​IMG]


    Now all your Favourites from IE or Chrome have been imported into Microsoft Edge...

    Moreover, and most importantly is where is the path for the "Favourites Hub" Microsoft have done their best to hide the location of the favourites for Microsoft Edge. But because I'm working with computers for 7.5 hrs a day I thought the logical place to be would be in hidden away within AppData. If you want to edit your Favourites then the best way is to go directly to the file path location.

    WB + R to open Run Command and type in AppData or just copy and paste the link that I have provided below for you.
