If you upgrade (Do not know what happens in a clean install) Internet Exploder,er, Explorer is still there.
I found EDGE does not play nice with most of the pages I used MSIE for so I had to figure out another way.. Firefox helped me do it since I have the OPEN IN IE add on and it did. IE is still there.
Here is how to get IE back (At least one way)
Right click the start icon (Lower left, looks like a 4 pane window) and choose RUN
Type IEXPLORE.EXE
Hit Enter.
This should open MSIE and put a brighter than Edge colored lower case E icon in the task bar (To the right of the icon you just used)
Right click on that icon and "PIN TO TASK BAR"
you can now access MSIE with the same flaws and features it had before the upgrade.
SO far.. that (EDGE) is my only complaint..
Some things seem to run faster.. I know programming shows to record using Firefox or MSIE took several seconds from the time I hit the schedule button to the confirmation screen
(The web host for this is another computer here in the RV.. I send the command to it via my house router, that computer (Windows XP) sends the schedule command to the recorder, which sends back an acknowledgment or a NAK depending, and the server (XP) computer sends it back to me)
With 8.1 that took several (like 10-30) seconds. With 10 it takes..... Like 1 (or less) So I'm happy there.
Web browsing the bottle neck is external so that's not affected.
But once I found MSIE so I could access the web pages that won't even let me log in with EDGE.. I'm much happier.
Edge got better after the first update (NOTE: I upgraded less than 12 hours ago and already I have an update).
