This change will take place with the April 2021 update and once you install the cumulative updates of the patch, Microsoft Edge will be removed and it will be replaced by the new Chromium version. Microsoft has announced the Edge legacy will be replaced later in August 2020: If you are wondering what happens to your data once you update to the new Microsoft Edge, there’s no need to worry. All your data including bookmarks, history, etc. will be transferred, automatically, to the Chromium Edge. Skipping the update is not something that Microsoft recommends since this also contains more security updates that you should benefit from. Reassuring its users that they will not lose anything, including the personalization settings, comes as a strong encouragement so that users don’t uphold the April 2021 update. However, keep in mind that if you have your Windows 10 installed from an offline source, such as an ISO disk, you may have issues with having Edge Legacy replaced properly. Rest assured, if you are using a different version of Windows, such as Windows 7, Windows 8.1 or macOS, and Linux the new browser will work perfectly. What are your thoughts on the upcoming change?
