how do I install old version of microsoft edge

The old, legacy version of Microsoft Edge is no more. It cannot be installed, and the new, Chromium-based version has taken its place.

Hello GregoryYim,

I'm John an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you. I'll be happy to assist you today. I understand you want to revert back to the previous version of Microsoft Edge.

Press Start then search Microsoft Edge

Right click then Uninstall

If it doesn't work, Please try this workaround to Uninstall the Edge Chromium then Edge legacy will be reinstated together with your favorites.

Open Edge Chromium > Click 3 dots > Help and Feedback

Select About Microsoft Edge

Take note of the version

Press Start then search command prompt

Right click then run as administrator

At the command prompt, copy paste the following command, and then press ENTER:

(Note: You may try to change 84.0.522.52 below depending on the Edge Version you take note earlier.)

cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\84.0.522.52\Installer"

After that, copy paste the following command, and then press ENTER:

setup.exe --uninstall --system-level --verbose-logging --force-uninstall

Once Microsoft Edge is uninstalled, you will now have access to Edge Legacy.

If it still doesn't work, You can try to use revouninstaller. It's free, you don't need to buy the software. Kindly click free download and install the software. Select Microsoft Edge Chromium then Uninstall.

I don't recommend that anyone uninstall Edge for one good reason. Any method used to remove Edge makes changes to Windows 10 System and you never know when Microsoft might release an update that requires what was changed and your computer ends up a brick. If you still feel that you must remove Edge, I would suggest you try Revo uninstaller. You can download it here; https://www.revouninstaller.com/revo-uninstaller-free-download/. Then you can download and install the tool to block any unwanted future updates. You can also check this out: 

Open Regedit and back up key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate\ClientState{56EB18F8-B008-4CBD-B6D2-8C97FE7E9062}

Then delete it. ONLY, after backing up. This is the key that informs Windows the new browser update is engaged. You will need to restore it later.

Reboot.

Now, add the following key in RegEdit:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate]

"Allowsxs"=dword:00000001

This tells Windows to allow legacy edge as well as new edge.

Reboot.

So now you have the legacy edge link, as well as, the new one, on your Start Screen all apps.

The last thing, now you should restore the backed-up key that I told you to keep at the beginning. MS recommends you don't remove this key, so best to restore it.

Everything is now fine again.

I hope this helps, and if you need any further assistance, please post, and we will be glad to assist you.
