My laptop updated to 10 overnight. At 84 years of age, I am far from puter savvy, so one morning last week, I opened my puter to a request to O.K. an update, and thinking it was probably a scheduled update clicked O.K. and lo and behold, I now have Windows 10. What really angers me is that I now no longer have Internet Explorer and have lost all my favorites. All my FR threads I have been saving in favorites are lost along with loads of other personal Freeper favorites. Dang

Internet Explorer is installed with Windows Ten - just go to Start and then in the search bar type ‘Explorer’ and there it is! Your favorites will probably be there waiting for you!

Found this on the MS website, hopefully it will help.

Windows 10, your old favorites are now pinned to Quick access. If they’re not all there, see if they’re lurking in your old favorites folder (C:\Users\username\Links). When you find one, right-click it and select Pin to Quick access.

search in your HELP box for ‘SYSTEM RESTORE’ follow prompts and restore to previous date before the Win10 issue

IE will be in your ‘APPS’ menu. I found it quite easily and pinned it to the taskbar.

Also, there is a menu option in Edge to import Favorites if you decide you like Edge.

#16 You do have IE11 but Microsoft did not include a shortcut for it nor placed it under the Start button> All programs. They want you to use their new Edge web browser which people are finding they do not like.

To add the IE11 shortcut to your desktop then do the following:
Go to “This PC” icon then double click on the “C” drive then open the “Program Files (x86) folder then open the “Internet Explorer” folder”
Inside you will see the “iexplore” icon.

Next right click on it and click on “Create shortcut” It will offer to place it on the desktop for you. Also you can right click on iexplre and click on “Pin to taskbar” You will now have a new IE icon on the taskbar at the bottom. It is a lighter shade of blue. Once you open IE11 you should see your favorites/bookmarks you had.

On your desktop if you do not see the “This PC” icon then do the following:
Right click on the desktop and click on Personalize then click on Themes then Desktop icon settings;
Check off the boxes for: Computer, User Files, Control Panel, Recycle Bin

Here is another way. Download and run and you should have the IE11 icon on your desktop.
