Windows 10: Making Adobe Acrobat Pro XI my default program for opening pdf files

When I look under defaults in Control Panel, I see Microsoft Edge is the default. I do not want Microsoft Edge and paid to get Adobe Acrobat Pro XI so I have the editing capabilities. How do I do this?

Adobe Acrobat Pro isn't listed as a default program option. When I use Acrobat Pro to open a file I am prompted to set it as the default. After clicking on the 'yes' button I receive a message that acrobat pro could not be the default program.

Swathi's method doesn't work.
