Resources: Evaluating Microsoft Edge for your Organization

If you are anywhere along the continuum of a migration to Windows 10 then one area you will be taking a close look at is whether to use Microsoft Edge as your companies default browser on the operating system.

Microsoft Edge plays a key role in the security posture of Windows 10 and uses features like SmartScreen and Click to Run Flash to prevent you or your users from being susceptible to malicious threats.

Of course, compatibility is also important to make sure Edge works with your Line of Business (LOB) apps.

So bottom line is that you should be making a plan to evaluate Microsoft Edge right alongside of your planning for a move to Windows 10.

Microsoft has some very in-depth resources available on their Microsoft Edge IT Center that can be useful in this process.

-- Security enhancements for Microsoft Edge
-- System requirements and language support
-- Available policies
-- Microsoft Edge for Windows 10 developer guide
-- Microsoft Edge overview
-- Windows 10 browser management
-- Browser security
-- Microsoft Edge is the browser for Windows 10
-- Building a more interoperable web with Microsoft Edge

You can also access the Microsoft Edge Dev Blog to learn about the internals and support for developers plus visit the official Microsoft Edge website.

Senior Content Producer, IT Pro Today (Informa Tech)

I served for 29 plus years in the U.S. Navy and retired as a Master Chief Petty Officer in November 2011. My work background in the Navy was telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well with what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena.

My first website – AnotherWin95.com – came online in 1995. Back then I used GeoCities Web Hosting for it and WindowsObserver.com is the result of the work I have done on that site since 1995.

In January 2010 my community contributions were recognized by Microsoft when I received my first Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award for the Windows Operating System. Since then I have been renewed as a Microsoft MVP each subsequent year since that initial award. I am also a member of the inaugural group of Windows Insider MVPs which began in 2016.

I previously hosted the Observed Tech PODCAST for 10 years and 317 episodes and now host a new podcast called Faith, Tech, and Space. 

I began contributing to Penton Technology websites in January 2015 and in April 2017 I was hired as the Senior Content Producer for Penton Technology which is now Informa Tech. In that role, I contribute to ITPro Today and cover operating systems, enterprise technology, and productivity.
