Microsoft Edge is the first browser to natively support Windows Hello as a more personal, seamless, and secure way to authenticate on the web, powered by an early implementation of the [Web Authentication (formerly FIDO 2.0 Web API) specification](http://w3c.github.io/webauthn/).
## Interoperability goals and enterprise guidance
Our primary goal is that your modern websites work in Microsoft Edge. To that end, we've made Microsoft Edge the default browser.
However, if you're running web apps that continue to use:
* ActiveX controls
* x-ua-compatible headers
* <meta> tags
* Enterprise mode or compatibility view to address compatibility issues
* legacy document modes
You'll need to keep running them using IE11. If you don't have IE11 installed anymore, you can download it from the Microsoft Store or from the [Internet Explorer 11 download page](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=290956). Alternatively, you can also use Enterprise Mode with Microsoft Edge to transition only the sites that need these technologies to load in IE11. For info about Enterprise Mode and Edge, see [Use Enterprise Mode to improve compatibility](emie-to-improve-compatibility.md).
### Enterprise guidance
Microsoft Edge is the default browser experience for Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile. However, if you're running web apps that need ActiveX controls, we recommend that you continue to use Internet Explorer 11 for them. If you don't have IE11 installed anymore, you can download it from the Microsoft Store or from the [Internet Explorer 11 download page](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=290956).
We also recommend that you upgrade to IE11 if you're running any earlier versions of Internet Explorer. IE11 is supported on Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10. So any legacy apps that work with IE11 will continue to work even as you migrate to Windows 10.
If you're having trouble deciding whether Microsoft Edge is good for your organization, you can take a look at this infographic about the potential impact of using Microsoft Edge in an organization.

#### Microsoft Edge
Microsoft Edge takes you beyond just browsing to actively engaging with the web through features like Web Note, Reading View, and Cortana.
- **Web Note.** Microsoft Edge lets you annotate, highlight, and call things out directly on webpages.
- **Reading view.** Microsoft Edge lets you enjoy and print online articles in a distraction-free layout that's optimized for your screen size. While in reading view, you can also save webpages or PDF files to your reading list, for later viewing.
- **Cortana.** Cortana is automatically enabled on Microsoft Edge. Microsoft Edge lets you highlight words for more info and gives you one-click access to things like restaurant reservations and reviews, without leaving the webpage.
- **Compatibility and security.** Microsoft Edge lets you continue to use IE11 for sites that are on your corporate intranet or that are included on your Enterprise Mode Site List. You must use IE11 to run older, less secure technology, such as ActiveX controls.
#### IE11
IE11 offers enterprises additional security, manageability, performance, backward compatibility, and modern standards support.
- **Backward compatibility.** IE11 supports 9 document modes that include high-fidelity emulations for older versions of IE.
- **Modern web standards.** IE11 supports modern web technologies like HTML5, CSS3, and WebGL, which help to ensure today's modern websites and apps work just as well as your old, legacy websites and apps.
- **More secure.** IE11 was designed with security in mind and is more secure than older versions. Using security features like SmartScreen and Enhanced Protected Mode can help IE11 reduce your risk.
- **Faster.** IE11 is significantly faster than previous versions of Internet Explorer, taking advantage of network optimization and hardware-accelerated text, graphics, and JavaScript rendering.
- **Easier migration to Windows 10.** IE11 is the only version of IE that runs on Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10. Upgrading to IE11 on Windows 7 can also help your organization support the next generation of software, services, and devices.
- **Administration.** IE11 can use the Internet Explorer Administration Kit (IEAK) 11 or MSIs for deployment, and includes more than 1,600 Group Policies and preferences for granular control.

# Interoperability and enterprise guidance
>*Supported versions: Microsoft Edge on Windows 10*
default browser for Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile
goal is that all websites work in Microsoft Edge but at the same time if you have apps that use any of the following legacy technologies, you must keep running them in Internet Explorer 11:
* ActiveX controls
* x-ua-compatible headers
* &lt;meta&gt; tags
* Enterprise mode or compatibility view to address compatibility issues
* legacy document modes
>[!TIP]
>You can also use Enterprise Mode with Microsoft Edge to transition only the sites that need these technologies to load in IE11. For info about Enterprise Mode and Edge, see [Use Enterprise Mode to improve compatibility](emie-to-improve-compatibility.md).
If you have specific websites and apps that you know have compatibility problems with Microsoft Edge, you can use the Enterprise Mode site list so that the websites automatically open using Internet Explorer 11. Additionally, if you know that your intranet sites aren't going to work correctly with Microsoft Edge, you can set all intranet sites to open using IE11 automatically.
Using Enterprise Mode means that you can continue to use Microsoft Edge as your default browser, while also ensuring that your apps continue working on IE11.

# Security and privacy management
>*Supported versions: Microsoft Edge on Windows 10*
Microsoft Edge helps to defend from increasingly sophisticated and prevalent web-based attacks against Windows. While most websites are safe, some sites are malicious in nature, like stealing personal information or gain access to your system’s resources. By no longer supporting VBScript, JScript, VML, Browser Helper Objects, Toolbars, ActiveX controls, and Internet Explorer document modes, Microsoft Edge significantly reduces attacks making the browser more secure.

By default, the “browser” group syncs automatically between the user’s devices, letting users make changes. The “browser” group uses the Sync your Settings option in Settings to sync information like history and favorites. You can configure Microsoft Edge to prevent the “browser” group from syncing and prevent users from turning on the Sync your Settings toggle in Settings. If you want syncing turned off by default but not disabled, select the _Allow users to turn “browser” syncing_ option in the Do not sync browser policy.
