As of 2015, Microsoft developed a new web browser that allows for better operational functions with respect to its predecessor Internet Explorer , called Edge .
Thanks to this tool, the user can have a virtual assistant by voice that saves time in executing functions such as searches on websites , opening or closing an application. While it is true that many customers assume that Cortana is a weak point regarding the protection of user privacy, this tool is considered a great technological advance.
An open source system is currently being developed with Google’s “Chromium” , in order to improve those issues that do not allow Edge to be a next-generation web browser .

Edge es el navegador que pertenece a la compañía Microsoft y que está incluido dentro del paquete del SO Windows 10. De esta manera reemplaza al tradicional Internet Explorer que se utilizaba de forma predeterminada en las versiones anteriores del sistema operativo.
With Edge, Microsoft offers the possibility of having a web browser that is developed with standards necessary for the operability of a modern web. In this way the user can make annotations on the different websites, have a digital voice assistant (called Cortana) and store in the cloud, through One Drive , all files or documents that can be had on a computer or mobile. It includes a default PDF, EPUB and Adobe Flash Player reader.
With this browser, the company is looking to have a rendering engine that allows you to have, on a PC and a Smartphone, a better JavaScript performance . While it is true that Microsoft promised to develop improvements and have a better engine through an open source of “Chromium” , this tool is still not compatible with ActiveX and Browser Helper Object .
Steps to update Microsoft EDGE to the latest version available in Windows 10
As we talked about before, Edge comes by default with the Windows 10 operating system. The important thing in this case, is to know that the browser is automatically updated when Windows 10 updates are performed >. Therefore, there is no possibility to download an installer to improve the version of Microsoft Edge.
Then, to run the browser update, we must select the Windows 10 improvements. To do this, we will perform this procedure:
- We go to the “Start” menu and select “Settings” . Another way to do this is through the following “Windows + I” command.
- Once we have opened this panel, we will click on “Update and Security” .
- Next, we select in the left panel, “Windows Update ” .
- At this moment we will check if updates are available from the operating system. If there is a new one, we will have to click on it to refresh the version.
With these steps we will have increased the Edge update, through the Windows 10 update.
If we want to know what version we have of Microsoft Edge, we must go to the browser and select in the upper right “Menu” . Next, we will choose “Settings” and click “About this application” .
