In Windows 7, and before, all you need to do is right click on the desk top and choose 'new' - 'shortcut' from the menu, and then paste the full URL from the target website into the shortcut target box. That doesn't work on Windows 10. The method, (probably relating to Microsoft's new Office web apps), is as follows - 1) Open Edge browser. One of the new features of the Microsoft Edge is the ability to create multiple profiles to allow other people to use the browser without the need to create additional accounts on Windows 10. - I should've made the above-listed title more descriptive, like 'Block pop-ups as default, but allow on specific websites (Microsoft Edge, Windows 10).' Simply blocking all pop-ups, or not blocking all pop-ups, is apparently the way it used to work. I don't know when MS finally fixed it, but based on what I could find, it wasn't that.
-->This article describes the supported operating systems that apply to Microsoft Edge.
Note
This article applies to the Microsoft Edge versions 77 and higher for the desktop.
Supported Operating Systems for Microsoft Edge
Note
Product functionality and feature availability may vary on older operating systems. To ensure that Microsoft Edge installs correctly, use the latest version of any operating system specified below. This guidance includes the latest cumulative update, as applicable.
Microsoft Edge follows the Modern Lifecycle Policy and is supported on the following operating systems.
Windows Client
- Windows 7 **
- Windows 8.1
- Windows 10 SAC 1709 and later ***
- Windows 10 Enterprise 2015 LTSC
- Windows 10 Enterprise 2016 LTSC
- Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC
- Windows 10 Enterprise multi-session
- Windows 10 IoT Enterprise SAC ****
- Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2019 LTSC ****
Windows Server
New Edge For Windows 10
- Windows Server 2008 R2 **
- Windows Server 2012
- Windows Server 2012 R2
- Windows Server 2016 (LTSC)
- Windows Server 2019 (LTSC)
- Windows Server (SAC)
Important
** We will continue to support Microsoft Edge on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 until January 15, 2022. These operating systems are out of support and Microsoft recommends you move to a supported operating system such as Windows 10. While Microsoft Edge helps keep you more secure on the web, your PC may still be vulnerable to security risks. In order for IE mode to be supported on these operating systems the devices will need to have the Extended Security Updates for Windows 7. Without the Windows 7 Extended Security updates Internet Explorer functionality will be vulnerable to security risks. Additionally, IE mode functionality may cease to work without the continued servicing through the extended security updates.
*** In the same fashion as above, for Windows 10 SAC releases that are out of support but Microsoft Edge is supported it is recommended to upgrade to a supported Win10 SAC release as soon as possible to remain secure. Microsoft Edge being supported in this state should be considered a temporary bridge to getting to a supported OS state.
**** The Microsoft Edge OPK is available on MOO for IoT OEMs to preinstall and distribute as part of their Windows 10 IoT Enterprise based solution.

Note
You've reached the documentation for Microsoft Edge version 45 and earlier. To see the documentation for Microsoft Edge version 77 or later, go to the Microsoft Edge documentation landing page.
Microsoft Edge is the new, default web browser for Windows 10, helping you to experience modern web standards, better performance, improved security, and increased reliability. Microsoft Edge lets you stay up-to-date through the Microsoft Store and to manage your enterprise through Group Policy or your mobile device management (MDM) tools.
Important
The Long-Term Servicing Branch (LTSB) versions of Windows, including Windows Server 2016, don’t include Microsoft Edge or many other Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps. Systems running the LTSB operating systems do not support these apps because their services get frequently updated with new functionality. For customers who require the LTSB for specialized devices, we recommend using Internet Explorer 11.
Minimum system requirements
Some of the components might also need additional system resources. Check the component's documentation for more information.
