Dear Computer Lady,
I just got a new laptop with Windows 10, and I don’t like the new, “Edge” browser. I would like to go back to Internet Explorer, but I don’t see it on this computer.
Can I put Internet Explorer on my Windows 10 computer?
Thanks, Tracy
Dear Tracy,
Actually, Internet Explorer is already on Your Windows 10 computer, you just have to know how to find it.
The easiest way to do this is to press the Windows logo key on your keyboard and type, “Internet Explorer”.
Windows 10 will search for and find Internet Explorer, and display it in the list of search results.
Once you click on “Internet Explorer” (IE) and the program opens, there will be an icon for IE on your taskbar. Right click on this icon, and click “Pin To Taskbar”.
Now, when you want to open Internet Explorer, just click once on the icon on your taskbar.

We did this with my husband’s computer, but IE kept hanging up and restarting… as in, multiple times per browsing session. I convinced him to try Edge, and he is fine with it now and it runs without any issues. I tried updating IE and doing a few troubleshooting things to fix it, but was unsuccessful. I wonder if it ‘clashes’ with Edge somehow…
