How to update Microsoft Edge browser to its latest available version? step by step guide

Starting in 2015, Microsoft developed a new web browser that allows better operating functions compared to its predecessor internet explorercalled Edge.

Thanks to this tool, the user can have a virtual voice assistant that saves time in executing functions such as searching websites, open or close an application. Although it is true that many customers assume that Cortana is a weak point with respect to protecting user privacy, this tool is considered a great technological advance by Microsoft.

An open source system is currently being developed with “chromium” of Google, in order to improve those issues that do not allow Edge to be a next-generation web browser.

What is Microsoft Edge and why was this browser created?

Edge is the browser that belongs to the Microsoft company and that is included in the package OS Windows 10. In this way it replaces the traditional Internet Explorer that was used by default in previous versions of the operating system.

With Edge, Microsoft offers the possibility of having a web browser that is developed with the necessary standards for the operability of a modern web. In this way the user can make annotations on the different websites, have a voice digital assistant (called Cortana) and store in the cloud, through One Drive, all the files or documents that can be had on a computer or mobile. By default, it comes with a reader of PDF, EPUB and Adobe Flash Player.

With this browser, the company is looking to have a rendering engine that makes it possible to have, both on a PC and on a Smartphone, better JavaScript performance. While it is true that Microsoft promised to develop improvements and have a better engine through an open source of “chromium”still this tool it is not compatible with ActiveX and Browser Helper Object.

Steps to update Microsoft EDGE to the latest version available in Windows 10

As we have 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 updated automatically when Windows 10 updates are made. Therefore, there is no possibility to download an installer that can be used to improve the version of Microsoft Edge.

So, to run the browser update, we must select the Windows 10 improvements. To do this, we will perform this procedure:

• We go to the menu “Start” and we select “Setting”. Another way to do this is through the following command “Windows + I”.
• Once we have opened this panel, we will click on “Update and Security”.
• Next, we select in the panel on the left, “Windows Update”.
• At this time we will check if there are updates available for 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 of Microsoft Edge we have, we must go to the browser and select in the upper right “Menu”. Next, we will choose “Setting” and we will click on “About this app”.
