    Problem with Importing Favorites


    Against my whishes a new version of Chrome Edge was installed on my laptop #1. I just tried to import Favorites from laptop #2, using an exported HTML file. I go through the procedure and it reports that the import has completed, BUT, the favorites on laptop #1 have not changed. Any advice?

    Regards, Jim

  2. Can't Import Internet Explorer Favorites into Edge

    Vardhaman,

    I'm having the same problem importing favorites from Internet Explorer. Your answer totally ignores his question.

    "Please make sure you are following correct steps to import favorites."

    • Select More actions (...) > Settings.
      (STOP: At this point EDGE says: ""couldn't import favorites", so we CANNOT GO TO STEP 2)
    • Select Import favorites from another browser and choose from the list.
    • To see your favorites, select Hub > Favorites.
