What can you do to prepare?

Let IT Services know if you are required to use IE

If your department uses web applications that require Internet Explorer, you should inform the IT Services TechSquad at techsquad@marquette.edu to ensure that it's compatible with Edge or another web browser.

Some applications may work in Edge's IE Compatibility Mode as a temporary solution until the web application is properly updated.

Import your IE favorites into Microsoft Edge

For the best experience, IT Services recommends you import your data from IE11 to Microsoft Edge before Microsoft retires and removes the IE11 browser.

  1. Open Microsoft Edge.
  2. Copy...
    edge://settings/importdata
    ...and paste into Edge's location bar.

  3. Edge displays a settings screen titled "Your Profile." Click Import browser data.

    Import your data

  4. The "Import browser data" screen appears. In the "Import from other browsers" section, click Choose what to import.

    Choose what to import

  5. An "Import browser data" prompt appears. Uncheck "Saved passwords" and "Browser history." Click Import.
