From the above screenshot, you can see I have Chrome installed. This is pretty handy, but there’s a problem: Edge currently cannot import bookmarks from an HTM file!įirst, you’ll need another browser installed on your puter. IE can export all your bookmarks as a file called bookmark.htm. If your bookmarks are there and you’re happy enough with IE, carry on! You’re done. So, you can just click Start and search for Internet Explorer, and run it. You should still have Internet Explorer installed on Windows 10, but it’s kind of “hidden”. That’s it! Your old Internet Explorer bookmark toolbar and all your favorites should now be restored.
Then select Internet Explorer, and click the Import button: Once Edge is running, click the Hub icon in the upper right corner (3 horizontal lines) and then click the Favorites Settings link (which used to be called “Import Favorites”): Not to worry though, because it’s a piece of cake to restore all of your missing Favorites!įirst, open Edge, which is the blue “e” icon on your taskbar. You’d think the import of your bookmarks/favorites would happen automatically during the Windows 10 upgrade, but alas… If you used Internet Explorer in Windows 7 or 8, all your bookmarks were saved in your Favorites folder.Īfter the upgrade to Windows 10, you may discover that in the new version of IE, called Microsoft Edge, your favorites are missing!
