Microsoft Details Its Migration Plans for the New Microsoft Edge

Microsoft quietly released some new documentation recently, detailing how the company plans to launch its new Chrome-based Microsoft Edge browser. From a report: The company has been working on this new browser for a little while, and we are less than a month away from the public release. [...] The changes here are pretty obvious, but it is still important to understand exactly how Microsoft is going to replace the older Edge browser on a technical level. Microsoft says it has already made changes to Windows 10 and the older Edge browser to support the migration. All start menu pins, tiles, and shortcuts for the current version of Microsoft Edge will migrate to the next version of Microsoft Edge. All taskbar pins and shortcuts for the current version of Microsoft Edge will migrate to the next version of Microsoft Edge. The next version of Microsoft Edge will be pinned to the taskbar. If the current version of Microsoft Edge is already pinned, it will be replaced. The next version of Microsoft Edge will add a shortcut to the desktop. If the current version of Microsoft Edge already has a shortcut, it will be replaced. Most protocols that Microsoft Edge handles by default will be migrated to the next version of Microsoft Edge. Current Microsoft Edge will be hidden from all UX surfaces in the OS, including settings, all apps, and any file or protocol support dialogs. All attempts to launch the current version of Microsoft Edge will redirect to the next version of Microsoft Edge.
