End of Support For Microsoft Edge Legacy

Microsoft Edge

Support for Microsoft Edge legacy ends today, March 9, 2021, and will no longer receive future security updates.  

The Microsoft Edge Legacy desktop application will be removed and replaced with the new Microsoft Edge if you install the optional Windows 10 March Preview ("C") release or next month when the Windows 10 cumulative monthly security updates released on April 13, 2021 are installed for the following Windows 10 versions:

  • Windows 10, version 1803, all editions (April 2018)
    • Note: This version will not be included in the optional Windows 10 March Preview release.
  • Windows 10, version 1809, all editions (October 2018)
  • Windows 10, version 1903, all editions (May 2019)
    • Note: This version is out of support for desktop
  • Windows 10, version 1909, all editions (October 2019)
  • Windows 10, version 2004, all editions (May 2020)
  • Windows 10, version 20H2, all editions (October 2020)
    • Because Windows 10, 20H2 already uses the new Microsoft Edge as its default browser, it will not be reinstalled; only Microsoft Edge Legacy will be removed.

When the April 13 update is installed or you install the optional Windows 10 March Preview ("C") release, the out of support Microsoft Edge Legacy desktop application will be removed and the new Microsoft Edge will be installed.

May the wind sing to you and the sun rise in your heart...
