Microsoft will remove the legacy Edge browser from Windows 10 users’ machines as of April’s Patch Tuesday, a month after ceasing security updates for the old Edge.
The end of Microsoft’s legacy Edge browser is closing in fast. Microsoft this week provided more details as to exactly how it plans to remove the old Edge from Windows. In August 2020, Microsoft officials said they would no longer provide any security updates for the legacy Edge desktop browser after March 9, 2021. (That’s March Patch Tuesday.) Today, February 5, Microsoft added some additional information about what will happen next. Microsoft plans to remove legacy Edge and replace it with the new, Chromium-based Edge when users apply the April Windows 10 Patch Tuesday release on April 13, 2021.
