  1. Wow you’re dumb. Internet Explorer has always been on Windows 10 and I’ve seen tons of security updates and what not downloaded through window update. Internet Explorer is out of the box on Windows 10. You are an absolute moron. But Edge is not a competed browser for Internet Explorer. Its a competing browser for Chrome. Internet Explorer is an Enterprise quality browser while Edge is a lightweight modern browser. Go back to school.

  2. I have windows 10pro on a brand new computer and there is no IE…so some of you do not know what you are talking about. I do have Edge and it is not the same so I will have to download IE so that I can use government software from the C.D.E….just saying…walk a mile in others shoes before you get salty…

  3. I really want to download Internet explorer. I am having trouble doing that. By the way is Internet Explorer 11 the same thing as the New Microsoft Edge.
