    Unable to import Internet Explorer Favorites to Edge

    I found the answer! It was Google Chrome! For the first time since Internet Explorer 6 I have blown Microsoft away and went with Google Chrome. It is soooooo nice. Web pages don't freeze, they are displayed properly, bookmarks import, it is fast and friendly.

    I should have done this years ago! Microsoft you need to just quit on the browsers. You aren't very good at it..... long live Chrome!

    Unable to import Internet Explorer Favorites to Edge

    *Original Title: MIcrosoft Edge is a worst piece of junk then Internet Explorer

    As it turned out Internet Explorer wasn't compatible with much. It turned out to be one of the worst browsers in history until Edge came along. Am I frustrated? Yes...

    Edge, for some reason, won't import my IE 11 favorites. Try Googling where Edge keeps its favorites and there doesn't seem to be an easy answer. Microsoft you need to get out of the browser wars. You aren't at all good at it.

    So where are the Edge favorites stored so I can copy my IE favorites to that location or is that even possible?

    Same problem here. Win 10 Pro x64. It's strange though because before I rolled back to Win 8.1 Pro (due to problem's of not being able to open my e-mail in IE11 or Edge) I imported my favorites with no problem at all. Now that I switched back to Win 10, Edge refuses to import favorite's. Hope they get it fixed soon!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I found a way to get my favorites into Edge, however it required some registry editing, which can be harmful to your system.
    This is the link where I found the info.
    If you use this, I can take no responsibility if it does not work. Also backup your registry before hand to be safe.

    I want to thank you Dusty for all the help!!!!

    take care

    If you moved the default location of your "C:\Users\(user-name)\Favorites" folder, then that will also cause them not to import into Edge. You'll need to restore the default location of Favorites before you will be able to import them into Edge.

    If the above is not the case, then the Favorites may be corrupted in Edge. Using OPTION FOUR below to clear all Favorites in Edge will reset it.

    Afterwards, you can import your Favorites from IE to Edge again.
