Microsoft announced this week that it has released previews of its Chromium-based Microsoft Edge Web browsers for use on Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 systems.

Microsoft Edge versie 109 zal ook de laatste ondersteunde versie voor Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012 en Windows Server 2012 R2 zijn.

Microsoft has shown old-fashioned aggression in trying to get Windows 10 users to adopt its new browser. Now, even Windows 7 users are finding it a little much.

Starting on June 17th, 2020, Microsoft has begun to roll out the KB4567409 update for Windows 7 that installs the new Chromium-based Microsoft Edge browser.

The latest Microsoft Edge 107 update is only available on Windows 10 and 11. However, Microsoft has also prepared a small browser update for those still using Windows 7, 8, and 8.1.

Edge is going truly cross-platform, as Microsoft announces plans to bring it to Windows 7, Windows 8, and macOS.

Microsoft launched Edge based on Google's Chromium open source project for Windows 7, Windows 10, and macOS. This is Edge 79 stable.

Microsoft will continue to support the new Microsoft Edge in Windows 7 even after the operating system reaches the end of life tomorrow.

Naast Windows 7, 8 en Edge brengt Microsoft een einde aan Microsoft Edge Webview2. De technologie gebruikt de rendering engine van Edge om webpagina’s in third-party apps in te sluiten.

Microsoft's Chromium Edge browser is now available on Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 after not initially supported the operating systems.

The new Chromium-based Microsoft Edge is coming to Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 PCs via Windows Update.
