Internet Explorer is still an option in Windows 10

You need to do two things to continue using it as usual:

1) Create a shortcut to it, and
2) Make it the default app.

You need to find the shortcut to Internet Explorer, and put it somewhere convenient.

  1. Hi Juan,
    I’ve been meaning to call and ask you about this. I can see that you more or less like
    Windows 10.[edit]
    What happens if I don’t get Windows 10 now? Will it be unavailable later or for sale and no longer free? Will the system I have, 7, I think, stop working? Why does one change when the thing one has is good enough? You know, just the directions you put in your e-mail are enough to make my head spin. Thank you for being there, and for helping me.
