Windows 10 operating system comes with Microsoft Edge which is a new default web browser. Microsoft Edge is one of the best attempts from Microsoft when it comes to making a web browser after the downfall of Internet Explorer. Microsoft Edge is fast, sleek and has a beautiful user interface.

Because of such features, users having Windows 10 operating system using Microsoft Edge regularly and some of them are making as their default web browser.

Unlike other browsers, Microsoft Edge browser doesn’t support importing bookmarks and passwords from an HTML file, but you can easily import bookmarks and saved passwords using Chrome, Firefox or Internet Explorer installation.

The only requirement that needs to be taken care of is running on Windows 10 build 15007 or above. You cannot import using the old build Windows operating system.

    One obvious question would be, “How do we find out which build in Windows 10 we have.”

    Doesn’t work- doesn’t import passwords, only favourites and even then only as a folder-which you cannot move from the overarching ‘imported from Chrome’ folder. So far not impressed with edge, got lots of extensions that do clever things but cannot get basics sorted

    Does the password import actually WORK, though? I’ve tried it numerous times (importing to Edge from Chrome), and my saved passwords never show up in any fields.

      You should be running on Windows 10 build 15007 or above. If you are on the older version, I strongly recommend you update your operating system immediately.
