Despite being decades old now, Internet Explorer is still one of the greatest web browsers in existence. Even today there are several old web applications and services like backdated educational websites, government websites, etc. that can only be accessed using Internet Explorer.
Sadly, the browser that once had a 95% usage share didn’t make it to the new Windows 11 Operating System. As a result, people using Windows 11 desktops and laptops simply can’t download and start using IE on their computers.
That said, you can still use Internet Explorer on a Windows 11 PC by enabling the Internet Explorer Mode In Windows 11.
