Although Microsoft Edge helps keep your device helps secure on the web, your device may still be vulnerable to security risks. I was privileged to byline the cover story of the last print issue of PC Magazine, the Windows 7 review, and Ive witnessed every Microsoft win and misstep up. Microsoft has already ended the official support for Windows 7 in January but even Google has promised to support its Chrome browser on Windows 7 until July 2021. Windows 7 support ended on January 14, 2020. Additionally, IE mode functionality may cease to work without the continued servicing through the extended security updates. Without the Windows 7 Extended Security updates Internet Explorer functionality will be vulnerable to security risks. In order for IE mode to be supported on these operating systems the devices will need to have the Extended Security Updates for Windows 7. While Microsoft Edge helps keep you more secure on the web, your PC may still be vulnerable to security risks.īut if you want to use the Edge IE mode on these operating systems you need to have the extended security updates for Windows 7. Microsoft Edge version 109 and WebView2 Runtime version 109 will be the final. These operating systems are out of support and Microsoft recommends you move to a supported operating system such as Windows 10. Microsoft Edge and WebView2 will reach end of support for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 in January 2023.

We will continue to support Microsoft Edge on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 until July 15, 2021.
