yoltboy01 Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 Hey guys! As many sources already announced it, Microsoft will update Internet Explorer 10 to Internet Explorer 11 on Windows Server 2012 and Windows Embedded 8. If that happens, IE11 can also be installed on Windows 8 because they have the same build number (9200). At least backporting will be easy https://www.osnews.com/story/129296/bringing-internet-explorer-11-to-windows-server-2012-and-windows-embedded-8-standard/ 1
HarryTri Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 It's a shame that IE 11 is available for Windows 7 and not for Windows 8, time for this to be changed. 1
Jody Thornton Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 I "think" this change will suit that need @HarryTri 2
Stefan43 Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 It seems like Microsoft Edge (The version based on Chromium) is also coming to Windows 8! 1

You can already use the Windows 10 version they're offering to install on any (supported) Windows version you want. Just find a way to download the installer.

I just wish it would run on Windows RT. I'm happy with Firefox Quantum on Windows 8, but for the Surface tablet, IE 11 is sooooooo slow! I wonder if an RT compilation of Chromium based Edge would improve it. 1

They are porting Chromium to ARM64 so it'll work with Windows 10 on ARM. Recompiling that to ARM32 would require some knowledge of the instruction set, I'd speculate: https://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-and-google-are-working-together-to-bring-chrome-to-windows-on-arm Firefox also works on ARM64 with the latest dev versions: https://www.windowscentral.com/mozilla-releases-first-nightly-build-firefox-windows-10-arm 1
