How to Change Microsoft Edge Home Page Language

Microsoft Edge has become a popular web browser due to its speed and user-friendly interface. However, it's not as easy to change the home page language as it is with other browsers. In this article, we will guide you through the steps on how to change the home page language in Microsoft Edge.

Under the 'Internet Explorer compatibility' section, turn on the 'Allow sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer mode' toggle switch to enable IE mode on Edge. This feature allows you to load legacy websites using the Internet Explorer rendering engine on Chromium Edge for Windows 10 and Windows 11.

To enable IE mode on Microsoft Edge, use these steps:

1. Click the Settings and More (ellipsis) button on the top-right corner.

2. Enable IE mode with Group Policy on Microsoft Edge (See this video tutorial to configure the feature on the Pureinfotech YouTube channel.)

3. Alongside the settings, it is also possible to use the Group Policy Editor to configure the compatibility mode.

If you have to use this compatibility mode, the version of Microsoft Edge available in the stable channel includes the 'Internet Explorer compatibilities' settings to quickly enable IE Mode and a separate option to open Edge when browsing an incompatible website with Internet Explorer. The new approach loads the pages within Microsoft Edge like a regular website without using and managing multiple browsers.

The feature is known as 'IE Mode' and has been designed for organizations to load internal sites without using a different browser or redesigning the legacy pages.

You can also set up IE mode on Microsoft Edge through Group Policy.

Alongside all the features and improvements for the version of Microsoft Edge based on the Chromium engine, Microsoft also includes a compatibility mode using the Internet Explorer rendering engine to load old websites.

To enable IE mode, open Microsoft Edge > Settings > Default browser. Select the Allow option for the 'Allow sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer mode (IE mode)' setting.

Restart the browser to start using IE mode for legacy websites.

By following these simple steps, you can easily change your home page language in Microsoft Edge and access all your favorite websites with ease.
