How to Update Microsoft Edge

How to Update Microsoft Edge

Step 1: 

Click on the Main Menu button 

First, make sure you are running Microsoft Edge and then click the Menu button in the top-right corner of the screen. It looks like three small dots next to each other. 

 

This will reveal the main Edge menu. 

 

Step 2: 

Hover over the "Help and Feedback" menu item 

The main Edge menu is quite tall; down the bottom you'll see an item named Help and feedback. 

 

When you hover over the Help and Feedback menu item, a sub-menu will appear. 

 

Step 3: 

Click "About Microsoft Edge" 
 

This will open the "About" screen for Edge - it contains some information about Edge and will also cause Edge to check that it's up to date. 

 

Step 4: 

Edge will automatically check for updates 

The About screen for Microsoft Edge will automatically start checking if updates are available. Please wait a few seconds for it to contact Microsoft for the latest version. 
 
 

If it finds that there is a newer version of Edge available, it will download and install the update. 

 
Once the update is downloaded, you'll need to restart Edge to finish the process. 

 

 

Step 5: 

Edge is now up to date. 

If you go back to the About screen for Microsoft Edge, you'll now see a confirmation that your copy of Edge is the latest version. 

 
Congratulations! You're now running the latest version of Microsoft Edge! 

Edge should check for updates and install them automatically, but sometimes the process fails or is delayed, so this will give you peace of mind that you have the latest version. 

Running the latest version of your web browser is an important step in being safe and secure online.
